Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lepyrus japonicus sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 349th 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
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lepyrus japonicus in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months. That is one of Beijing's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 150 mm in July.
Only Beijing, in our data
Beijing is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Lepyrus japonicus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Curculionidae
The closest relatives of the Lepyrus japonicus that you can see in Beijing (family Curculionidae, True Weevils) are Eucryptorrhynchus scrobiculatus (about 10%), Eucryptorrhynchus brandti (about 10%) and European Elm Flea Weevil (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lepyrus japonicus is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (6 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.
