Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Solenopsis nitens sighting in Bengaluru on a given day, based on 9 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.
February–March and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Solenopsis nitens in Bengaluru on a given day, against under 5% in April–June and August–January, the lowest months. Those are among Bengaluru's driest months, with about 40 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 Solenopsis nitens sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Solenopsis nitens is recorded against all the insects logged in Bengaluru (9 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.
