Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Pavement Ant sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 288th 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 and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Pavement Ant in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in July–September and November–May, the lowest months.
8th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Japanese Pavement Ant sightings, Beijing ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Sendai (Japan, about 20%), Busan (South Korea, about 20%) and Seoul (South Korea, about 10%).
Same family: Formicidae
The closest relatives of the Japanese Pavement Ant that you can see in Beijing (family Formicidae, Ants) are Japanese Carpenter Ant (about 10%) and Messor aciculatus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Japanese Pavement Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (7 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.
