Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Ant Mantis sighting in Tasikmalaya on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 28th most-seen of the 76 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Ant Mantis in Tasikmalaya on a given day, against under 5% in January to August, the lowest months. That is one of Tasikmalaya's driest months, with about 110 mm of rain against 380 mm in December.
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.
Among the best
Of the 13 cities where we can rate Asian Ant Mantis sightings, Tasikmalaya ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 20%).
Same order: Mantodea

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asian Ant Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Tasikmalaya (14 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.
