Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mesosa myops 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.
April and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mesosa myops in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in May–September and November–March, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Mesosa myops sightings, Beijing ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Novosibirsk (Russia, under 5%) and Seoul (South Korea, under 5%).
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Mesosa myops that you can see in Beijing (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Thin-Winged Longicorn Beetle (about 10%), Red Necked Longhorn Beetle (about 10%) and Asian Longhorned Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mesosa myops 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.
