Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Forest Shield Bug sighting in Bengaluru on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 268th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–March and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Forest Shield Bug in Bengaluru on a given day, against under 5% in April–October and December, the lowest months. Those are among Bengaluru's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain a month against 150 mm in September.
Only Bengaluru, in our data
Bengaluru is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Forest Shield Bug sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Forest Shield Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Bengaluru (12 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.
