With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Antlered Crane Fly sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 118th most-seen of the 362 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.
July to December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Antlered Crane Fly in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in January to June, the lowest months. Those are among Mumbai's wettest months, with about 320 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Antlered Crane Fly sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Antlered Crane Fly sightings, Mumbai ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Dehradun (India, about 20%), Bengaluru (India, about 10%) and Colombo [Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte] (Sri Lanka, about 10%).
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Antlered Crane Fly that you can see in Mumbai (order Diptera, Flies) are Black Soldier Fly (about 10%), Yellow-Shouldered Hover Fly (about 10%) and Chrysosoma leucopogon (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Antlered Crane Fly is recorded against all the insects logged in Mumbai (27 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.
