Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pumpkin Beetle sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 7 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.
March, August and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pumpkin Beetle in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in April–July, September and November–February, the lowest months.
7th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Pumpkin Beetle sightings, Mumbai ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Prayagraj (India, about 20%), Nagoya (Japan, about 10%) and Tokyo (Japan, about 10%).
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Pumpkin Beetle 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 Pumpkin Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Mumbai (7 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.
