With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black Percher sighting in Mysuru on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 68th most-seen of the 95 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and August
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Black Percher in Mysuru on a given day, against under 5% in April, June and November–February, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black Percher sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Black Percher sightings, Mysuru ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Jodhpur (India, about 30%), Antalya (Turkey, about 20%) and Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black Percher is recorded against all the insects logged in Mysuru (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.
