With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Carea angulata sighting in Chennai on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 237th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–April, September and November–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Carea angulata in Chennai on a given day, against under 5% in January, May–August and October, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Carea angulata is recorded against all the insects logged in Chennai (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.
