Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Cockroach sighting in Manila on a given day, based on 40 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 30th most-seen of the 122 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.
January, April and August–October
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Cockroach in Manila on a given day, against under 5% in November, the lowest month.
Among the best
Of the 17 cities where we can rate Indian Cockroach sightings, Manila ranks 3rd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Xiuying District (China, about 20%) and Davao City (Philippines, about 20%).
Same order: Blattodea
The closest relatives of the Indian Cockroach that you can see in Manila (order Blattodea, Cockroaches and Termites) are American Cockroach (about 20%), Brown-Banded Cockroach (about 10%) and Harlequin Cockroach (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Indian Cockroach is recorded against all the insects logged in Manila (40 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.
