With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Ant Mantis sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 138 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 186th most-seen of the 1045 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Ant Mantis in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asian Ant Mantis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
7th of 13
Of the 13 cities where we can rate Asian Ant Mantis sightings, Singapore ranks 7th at about 10%. The best odds are in Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 20%), Tasikmalaya (Indonesia, about 20%) and Jakarta (Indonesia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asian Ant Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (138 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.
