With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Colias poliographus sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 81 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 26th most-seen of the 401 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and September
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Colias poliographus in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in December to February, the lowest months. Those are among Beijing's wettest months, with about 85 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
12th of 14
Of the 14 cities where we can rate Colias poliographus sightings, Beijing ranks 12th at about 10%. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 20%), Suzhou (China, about 20%) and Sendai (Japan, about 20%).
Same family: Pieridae
The closest relatives of the Colias poliographus that you can see in Beijing (family Pieridae, Whites, Yellows, and Sulphurs) are Small White (about 20%) and Eastern Bath White (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Colias poliographus is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (81 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.
