With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Riptortus pedestris sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 170th most-seen of the 362 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–July and November–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Riptortus pedestris in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in January–March and August–October, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Riptortus pedestris sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
16th of 22
Of the 22 cities where we can rate Riptortus pedestris sightings, Mumbai ranks 16th at about 10%. The best odds are in Shenyang (China, about 30%), Gwangju (South Korea, about 20%) and Daejeon (South Korea, about 20%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Riptortus pedestris 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 Riptortus pedestris is recorded against all the insects logged in Mumbai (17 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.
