Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Shaggy Digger Bee sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 260th 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.
March and April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Shaggy Digger Bee in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in May to February, the lowest months. Those are among Beijing's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 150 mm in July.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Asian Shaggy Digger Bee sightings, Beijing ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Washington (United States, about 10%) and Baltimore (United States, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asian Shaggy Digger Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (8 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.
