Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sweetpotato Leaf Beetle sighting in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 245th 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.
March–April, July and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sweetpotato Leaf Beetle in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, against under 5% in May–June, August and October–February, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sweetpotato Leaf Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
16th of 17
Of the 17 cities where we can rate Sweetpotato Leaf Beetle sightings, Kuala Lumpur ranks 16th at under 5%. The best odds are in Tasikmalaya (Indonesia, about 30%), Taichung (Taiwan, about 20%) and Taipei (Taiwan, about 20%).
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Sweetpotato Leaf Beetle that you can see in Kuala Lumpur (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Green Tortoise Beetle (about 10%) and Curry-Leaf Tortoise Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sweetpotato Leaf Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Kuala Lumpur (6 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.
