With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sugarcane Spittlebug sighting in Mumbai on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 165th 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sugarcane Spittlebug in Mumbai on a given day, against under 5% in October to June, the lowest months. Those are among Mumbai's wettest months, with about 610 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sugarcane Spittlebug sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Sugarcane Spittlebug sightings, Mumbai ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 20%), Changsha (China, about 20%) and Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam, about 10%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Sugarcane Spittlebug 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 Sugarcane Spittlebug is recorded against all the insects logged in Mumbai (16 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.
