With luck

It is the 201st most-seen of the 323 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August, October and December–March

Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Menida formosa 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 Menida formosa is recorded against all the insects logged in Kuala Lumpur (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.
