Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mutilla oculata sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 8 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.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mutilla oculata in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months. That is one of Beijing's wettest months, with about 65 mm of rain against almost none in January.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Mutilla oculata sightings, Beijing ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 10%) and Hong Kong (China, under 5%).
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Mutilla oculata that you can see in Beijing (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Asian Honey Bee (about 20%), Appendiculate Carpenter Bee (about 10%) and Asian Paper Wasp (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mutilla oculata is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (8 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.
