With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eggplant Horned Planthopper sighting in Bangkok on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 92nd most-seen of the 245 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eggplant Horned Planthopper in Bangkok on a given day, against under 5% in October to March, the lowest months. Those are among Bangkok's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 10 mm in December.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eggplant Horned Planthopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Eggplant Horned Planthopper sightings, Bangkok ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Colombo [Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte] (Sri Lanka, about 10%) and Chennai (India, about 10%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Eggplant Horned Planthopper that you can see in Bangkok (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Kapok Bug (about 10%), Aquarius adelaidis (about 10%) and Sweet Potato Bug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eggplant Horned Planthopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Bangkok (25 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
