With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Riptortus pedestris sighting in New Delhi on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 101st most-seen of the 174 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
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Riptortus pedestris in New Delhi on a given day, against under 5% in May, July–September and November–March, the lowest months. That is one of New Delhi's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain against 220 mm in July.

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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Riptortus pedestris is recorded against all the insects logged in New Delhi (12 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.
