Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Grass Mantis sighting in Pune on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 293rd most-seen of the 340 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 and July–August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Grass Mantis in Pune on a given day, against under 5% in April–June and September–February, the lowest months. Those are among Pune's wettest months, with about 310 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Indian Grass Mantis sightings, Pune ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Hyderabad (India, about 10%) and Bengaluru (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Indian Grass Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Pune (7 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.
