With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pumpkin Beetle sighting in Kolkata on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 158th most-seen of the 213 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Same family: Chrysomelidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pumpkin Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Kolkata (8 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.
