Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Hierodula tenuidentata sighting in Bishkek on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 6th most-seen of the 19 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Hierodula tenuidentata in Bishkek on a given day, against under 5% in February–May, July and December, the lowest months. That is one of Bishkek's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain against 60 mm in April.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hierodula tenuidentata sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.

Of the 9 cities where we can rate Hierodula tenuidentata sightings, Bishkek has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Almaty (Kazakhstan, about 20%) and Vadodara (India, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hierodula tenuidentata is recorded against all the insects logged in Bishkek (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.
