Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Platypleura capitata sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 314th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Platypleura capitata in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months. That is one of Mumbai's driest months, with almost no rain against 830 mm in July.
Only Mumbai, in our data
Mumbai is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Platypleura capitata sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Platypleura capitata 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 Platypleura capitata 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.
