Sagra femorata
In 3 days ~30% in a week ~50%
Sagra femorata is a species of beetle belonging to the family Chrysomelidae. Sagra femorata can reach a length of 20 mm (0.79 in). These beetles have a striking sexual dimorphism. The males are much larger and have very long and strong hind legs resembling that of frogs (hence the common name). This remarkable morphology helps the males to dominate the opponents during the breeding. The basic color is quite variable, but usually it is metallic blue-green.
This species can be found in the forests of Cambodia, China, India, Java, Laos, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Frog-Legged Leaf Beetle sighting in Jakarta on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 90th most-seen of the 239 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.
February
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Frog-Legged Leaf Beetle in Jakarta on a given day, against under 5% in January and June–September, the lowest months. That is one of Jakarta's wettest months, with about 370 mm of rain against 55 mm in August.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Frog-Legged Leaf Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 11
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Frog-Legged Leaf Beetle sightings, Jakarta ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Surakarta (Indonesia, about 20%), Tasikmalaya (Indonesia, about 20%) and Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Frog-Legged Leaf Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Jakarta (15 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.
