Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Riptortus linearis sighting in Chennai on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 298th most-seen of the 376 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and December–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Riptortus linearis in Chennai on a given day, against under 5% in February–May and July–November, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Riptortus linearis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
7th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Riptortus linearis sightings, Chennai ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Naha (Japan, about 30%), Kochi (India, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Riptortus linearis is recorded against all the insects logged in Chennai (6 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.
