With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black Slender Ant sighting in Bengaluru on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 206th most-seen of the 477 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.
January–March, May, July and September–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black Slender Ant in Bengaluru on a given day, against under 5% in April, June, August and November–December, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Black Slender Ant sightings, Bengaluru ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Pune (India, about 10%) and Chennai (India, about 10%).
Same genus: Tetraponera
The closest relatives of the Black Slender Ant that you can see in Bengaluru (genus Tetraponera, Old World Slender ants) are Arboreal Bicolored Slender Ant (about 10%) and Tetraponera allaborans (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black Slender Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Bengaluru (19 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.
