Jansenia rugosiceps is a species of tiger beetle found in southern India. They are found mainly on rocks and boulders on hills in scrub forest. They measure 11–12 mm (0.43–0.47 in) in length. An examination of pygidial gland chemical defenses found that the species does not produce significant benzaldehyde unlike many other tiger beetle species. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Crimson Tethys Tiger Beetle sighting in Hyderabad on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 243rd most-seen of the 318 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.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Crimson Tethys Tiger Beetle in Hyderabad on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. That is one of Hyderabad's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain against almost none in December.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Crimson Tethys Tiger Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Hyderabad, in our data
Hyderabad is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Crimson Tethys Tiger Beetle sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Crimson Tethys Tiger Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Hyderabad (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.
