Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Mantis sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 276th most-seen of the 557 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mountain Mantis in Mexico City on a given day, against under 5% in February to December, the lowest months. That is one of Mexico City's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 150 mm in July.
Only Mexico City, in our data
Mexico City is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Mountain Mantis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mountain Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Mexico City (19 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.
