Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Giant Malaysian Shield Mantis sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 556th most-seen of the 1045 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Giant Malaysian Shield Mantis in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Giant Malaysian Shield Mantis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Singapore, in our data
Singapore is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Giant Malaysian Shield Mantis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Giant Malaysian Shield Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (19 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.
