Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Droptail Ant sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 228th most-seen of the 362 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June–July and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brown Droptail Ant in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in August and October–May, the lowest months. Those are among Mumbai's wettest months, with about 580 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Brown Droptail Ant sightings, Mumbai ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Bengaluru (India, about 20%), Chennai (India, about 10%) and Kochi (India, about 10%).
Same family: Formicidae
The closest relatives of the Brown Droptail Ant that you can see in Mumbai (family Formicidae, Ants) are Arboreal Bicolored Slender Ant (about 20%), Indian Black Ant (about 20%) and Longhorn Crazy Ant (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown Droptail Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Mumbai (11 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.
