Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Ant Mantis sighting in Bengaluru on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 433rd most-seen of the 477 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.
July–August and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Ant Mantis in Bengaluru on a given day, against under 5% in September–October and December–June, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asian Ant Mantis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
12th of 13
Of the 13 cities where we can rate Asian Ant Mantis sightings, Bengaluru ranks 12th at under 5%. The best odds are in Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 20%), Tasikmalaya (Indonesia, about 20%) and Jakarta (Indonesia, about 10%).
Same family: Hymenopodidae
The closest relatives of the Asian Ant Mantis that you can see in Bengaluru (family Hymenopodidae, Flower Mantises) are Indian Unicorn Boxer Mantis (about 10%) and Indian Flower Mantis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asian Ant Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Bengaluru (5 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.
