With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orthopagus lunulifer sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 143rd 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orthopagus lunulifer in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in October to July, the lowest months. Those are among Beijing's wettest months, with about 85 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Yes
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Orthopagus lunulifer sightings, Beijing has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Taipei (Taiwan, under 5%) and Seoul (South Korea, under 5%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Orthopagus lunulifer that you can see in Beijing (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Spotted Lanternfly (about 30%), Panaorus csikii (about 20%) and Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orthopagus lunulifer is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (19 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.
