Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Eggplant Horned Planthopper sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 258th 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.
April, July and December–February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eggplant Horned Planthopper in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in March, May–June and August–November, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eggplant Horned Planthopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Eggplant Horned Planthopper sightings, Mumbai ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Colombo [Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte] (Sri Lanka, about 10%), Chennai (India, about 10%) and Bangkok (Thailand, about 10%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Eggplant Horned Planthopper that you can see in Mumbai (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Oncopeltus nigriceps (about 10%), Cyclopelta siccifolia (about 10%) and Darth Maul Bug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eggplant Horned Planthopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Mumbai (8 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.
