With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oriental Lesser Emperor sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 82 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 27th most-seen of the 401 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May to July
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Oriental Lesser Emperor in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in September to March, the lowest months. Those are among Beijing's wettest months, with about 90 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
8th of 16
Of the 16 cities where we can rate Oriental Lesser Emperor sightings, Beijing ranks 8th at about 10%. The best odds are in Tianjin (China, about 30%), Daegu (South Korea, about 20%) and Xiamen City (China, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oriental Lesser Emperor is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (82 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.
