With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Green Tortoise Beetle sighting in Bengaluru on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 197th 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June to November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Green Tortoise Beetle in Bengaluru on a given day, against under 5% in December to May, the lowest months. Those are among Bengaluru's wettest months, with about 110 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Indian Green Tortoise Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Indian Green Tortoise Beetle sightings, Bengaluru ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kochi (India, about 10%) and Bucharest (Romania, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Indian Green Tortoise Beetle 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.
