With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hierodula tenuidentata sighting in Tashkent on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 19th most-seen of the 29 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.

In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Hierodula tenuidentata in Tashkent on a given day, against under 5% in September–October and December–June, the lowest months. That is one of Tashkent's driest months, with almost no rain against 60 mm in March.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hierodula tenuidentata is recorded against all the insects logged in Tashkent (5 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.
