With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black Slender Ant sighting in Chennai on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 152nd most-seen of the 376 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.
May
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Black Slender Ant in Chennai on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, July and September, the lowest months. That is one of Chennai's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain against 290 mm in November.
Among the best
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Black Slender Ant sightings, Chennai ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Pune (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black Slender Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Chennai (17 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.
