With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Erucius apicalis sighting in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, based on 54 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 28th most-seen of the 323 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.
February–March, May, August–October and December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Erucius apicalis in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, against about 10% in January, April, June–July and November, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Erucius apicalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kuala Lumpur, in our data
Kuala Lumpur is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Erucius apicalis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Orthoptera
The closest relatives of the Erucius apicalis that you can see in Kuala Lumpur (order Orthoptera, Grasshoppers, Crickets, and Katydids) are Nisitrus malaya (about 30%), Javanese Grasshopper (about 30%) and Black-Kneed Meadow Katydid (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Erucius apicalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Kuala Lumpur (54 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.
