With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eggplant Horned Planthopper sighting in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 224th most-seen of the 323 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–May, August and December–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eggplant Horned Planthopper in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, against under 5% in February–March, June–July and September–November, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eggplant Horned Planthopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Eggplant Horned Planthopper sightings, Kuala Lumpur ranks 5th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Colombo [Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte] (Sri Lanka, about 10%), Chennai (India, about 10%) and Bangkok (Thailand, about 10%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Eggplant Horned Planthopper that you can see in Kuala Lumpur (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Orange Sharpshooter (about 20%), Giant Shield Bug (about 10%) and Cosmolestes picticeps (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eggplant Horned Planthopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Kuala Lumpur (7 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.
