Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Flower Mantis 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.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Flower Mantis in New Delhi on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months. Those are among New Delhi's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain a month against 220 mm in July.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Indian Flower Mantis sightings, New Delhi ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Bengaluru (India, about 10%) and Hyderabad (India, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Indian Flower Mantis 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.
