With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Flower Ant sighting in Manila on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 75th most-seen of the 122 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Flower Ant in Manila on a given day, against under 5% in March to August, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Flower Ant sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 15 cities where we can rate Flower Ant sightings, Manila ranks 4th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kochi (India, about 10%), Fortaleza (Brazil, about 10%) and Zhuhai [Macau] (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Flower Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Manila (9 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.
