No species of the same family or order lives in Beijing, so these are its closest relatives here: other insects.
Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mystacides testaceus sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 247th 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, June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mystacides testaceus in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in May, July and September–March, the lowest months. Those are among Beijing's wettest months, with about 70 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Only Beijing, in our data
Beijing is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Mystacides testaceus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mystacides testaceus is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (10 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.
