Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hierodula tenuidentata sighting in New Delhi on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 154th most-seen of the 174 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, May and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hierodula tenuidentata in New Delhi on a given day, against under 5% in April, June–September and December–February, the lowest months. Those are among New Delhi's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 220 mm in July.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hierodula tenuidentata sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
9th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Hierodula tenuidentata sightings, New Delhi ranks 9th at under 5%. The best odds are in Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan, about 30%), Almaty (Kazakhstan, about 20%) and Vadodara (India, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hierodula tenuidentata is recorded against all the insects logged in New Delhi (5 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.
