Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Maliattha signifera 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.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Maliattha signifera in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Beijing's wettest months, with about 110 mm of rain against almost none in January.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Maliattha signifera sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
6th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Maliattha signifera sightings, Beijing ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Colombo [Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte] (Sri Lanka, about 10%), Hyderabad (India, about 10%) and Kochi (India, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Maliattha signifera 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.
