Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Water Scorpion sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 9 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.
April, August and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Water Scorpion in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in May–July, September–October and December–March, the lowest months.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Japanese Water Scorpion sightings, Beijing ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Nanjing (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Japanese Water Scorpion is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (9 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.
