About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Sixteen-Spotted Lady Beetle sighting in Kathmandu on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 39th most-seen of the 71 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May, September and December
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Sixteen-Spotted Lady Beetle in Kathmandu on a given day, against under 5% in February, April, June–July and October–November, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sixteen-Spotted Lady Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Kathmandu (9 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.
