With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Flower Ant sighting in Kochi on a given day, based on 134 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 83rd most-seen of the 428 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April, August and October

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Flower Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Kochi (134 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.
