Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Green Tortoise Beetle sighting in Vienna on a given day, based on 32 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 471st most-seen of the 1406 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Green Tortoise Beetle in Vienna on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months. Those are among Vienna's wettest months, with about 90 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in February.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Indian Green Tortoise Beetle 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 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Indian Green Tortoise Beetle sightings, Vienna ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kochi (India, about 10%), Bucharest (Romania, about 10%) and Bengaluru (India, about 10%).
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Indian Green Tortoise Beetle that you can see in Vienna (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Colorado Potato Beetle (about 10%), Willow Clytra (about 10%) and Cassida nebulosa (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Indian Green Tortoise Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Vienna (32 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.
