Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rich Spiny Sugar Ant sighting in Bangkok on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 160th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rich Spiny Sugar Ant in Bangkok on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months. That is one of Bangkok's wettest months, with about 280 mm of rain against 10 mm in December.
11th of 12
Of the 12 cities where we can rate Rich Spiny Sugar Ant sightings, Bangkok ranks 11th at under 5%. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 30%), Naha (Japan, about 10%) and Guangzhou (China, about 10%).
Same family: Formicidae
The closest relatives of the Rich Spiny Sugar Ant that you can see in Bangkok (family Formicidae, Ants) are Asian Weaver Ant (about 20%), Arboreal Bicolored Slender Ant (about 20%) and Longhorn Crazy Ant (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rich Spiny Sugar Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Bangkok (10 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.
