Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Alfalfa Plant Bug sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 321st most-seen of the 401 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 an Alfalfa Plant Bug in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Beijing's wettest months, with about 85 mm of rain against almost none in January.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Alfalfa Plant Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
23rd of 27
Of the 27 cities where we can rate Alfalfa Plant Bug sightings, Beijing ranks 23rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Kharkiv (Ukraine, about 10%), Berlin (Germany, about 10%) and Helsinki (Finland, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Alfalfa Plant Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (6 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.
