Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lema praeusta sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 283rd 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 to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lema praeusta in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in September to May, the lowest months. Those are among Mumbai's wettest months, with about 660 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Lema praeusta sightings, Mumbai ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, under 5%).
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Lema praeusta that you can see in Mumbai (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Green Tortoise Beetle (about 10%), Furcated Tortoise Beetle (about 10%) and Oides palleata (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lema praeusta is recorded against all the insects logged in Mumbai (10 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.
