Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mango Flower Beetle sighting in Bangkok on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 125th most-seen of the 245 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mango Flower Beetle in Bangkok on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–May, the lowest months. Those are among Bangkok's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 10 mm in December.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mango Flower Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Mango Flower Beetle sightings, Bangkok ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 20%), Manila (Philippines, about 10%) and Brisbane (Australia, about 10%).
Same genus: Protaetia
The closest relatives of the Mango Flower Beetle that you can see in Bangkok (genus Protaetia) are Yellow-Spotted Flower Chafer (about 10%) and Acuminate Flower-beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mango Flower Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Bangkok (13 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.
