Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Green Dock Beetle 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 a Japanese Green Dock Beetle 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.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Japanese Green Dock Beetle sightings, Beijing ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 10%), Tokyo (Japan, under 5%) and Seoul (South Korea, under 5%).
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Japanese Green Dock Beetle that you can see in Beijing (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Chrysochus chinensis (about 10%), Oides decempunctata (about 10%) and Small Tortoise Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Japanese Green Dock Beetle 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.
