Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Reddish Mantis sighting in Cuc Phuong National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 82nd most-seen of the 126 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and December
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Reddish Mantis in Cuc Phuong National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, May and August, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chinese Reddish Mantis sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Cuc Phuong National Park, in our data
Cuc Phuong National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Chinese Reddish Mantis sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chinese Reddish Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Cuc Phuong National Park (7 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
