With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Grass Mantis sighting in Hyderabad on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 100th most-seen of the 318 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Grass Mantis in Hyderabad on a given day, against under 5% in November to March, the lowest months. That is one of Hyderabad's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain against almost none in December.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Indian Grass Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Hyderabad (21 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.
