With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Ant Mantis sighting in Jakarta on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 61st most-seen of the 239 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–February and June–July
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Ant Mantis in Jakarta on a given day, against under 5% in May and October, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asian Ant Mantis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 13
Of the 13 cities where we can rate Asian Ant Mantis sightings, Jakarta ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 20%) and Tasikmalaya (Indonesia, about 20%).
Same family: Hymenopodidae
The closest relatives of the Asian Ant Mantis that you can see in Jakarta (family Hymenopodidae, Flower Mantises) are Jeweled Flower Mantis (about 20%) and Orchid Mantis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asian Ant Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Jakarta (23 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.
