Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Xylotrupes philippinensis sighting in Manila on a given day, based on 51 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 12th most-seen of the 122 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October to January
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Xylotrupes philippinensis in Manila on a given day, against under 5% in April to August, the lowest months.
Only Manila, in our data
Manila is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Xylotrupes philippinensis sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Scarabaeidae
The closest relatives of the Xylotrupes philippinensis that you can see in Manila (family Scarabaeidae, Scarabs) are Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (about 20%), Mango Flower Beetle (about 10%) and Protaetia philippensis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Xylotrupes philippinensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Manila (51 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.
