With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Green Tortoise Beetle sighting in Pune on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 191st most-seen of the 340 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.
February and April–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Green Tortoise Beetle in Pune on a given day, against under 5% in March and October–January, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Indian Green Tortoise Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Indian Green Tortoise Beetle sightings, Pune ranks 5th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kochi (India, about 10%), Bucharest (Romania, about 10%) and Bengaluru (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Indian Green Tortoise Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Pune (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.
