Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nepalese Turtle Beetle sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 538th 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.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nepalese Turtle Beetle in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months.
8th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Nepalese Turtle Beetle sightings, Singapore ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 20%), Naha (Japan, about 10%) and Tokyo (Japan, about 10%).
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Nepalese Turtle Beetle that you can see in Singapore (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Baliosus pectoralis (about 10%), Gonophora pulchella (about 10%) and Sweetpotato Leaf Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nepalese Turtle Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (21 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.
