With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green Tortoise Beetle sighting in Manila on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 102nd 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Green Tortoise Beetle in Manila on a given day, against under 5% in March–August, October and December–January, the lowest months. That is one of Manila's wettest months, with about 350 mm of rain against 100 mm in April.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green Tortoise Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
12th of 20
Of the 20 cities where we can rate Green Tortoise Beetle sightings, Manila ranks 12th at about 10%. The best odds are in Xiuying District (China, about 20%), Thrissur (India, about 20%) and Dhaka (Bangladesh, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green Tortoise Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Manila (5 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.
