Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Eggplant Horned Planthopper 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.
August and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eggplant Horned Planthopper in Bengaluru on a given day, against under 5% in October to July, the lowest months. Those are among Bengaluru's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
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.
8th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Eggplant Horned Planthopper sightings, Bengaluru ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Colombo [Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte] (Sri Lanka, about 10%), Chennai (India, about 10%) and Bangkok (Thailand, about 10%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Eggplant Horned Planthopper that you can see in Bengaluru (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Ferguson Squathopper (about 20%), Indian Cotton Stainer (about 10%) and Huechys beata (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 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.
