Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Orthotylus flavosparsus sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 184th 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.
April–June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orthotylus flavosparsus in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–March, the lowest months. Those are among Beijing's wettest months, with about 65 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 Orthotylus flavosparsus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Miridae
The closest relatives of the Orthotylus flavosparsus that you can see in Beijing (family Miridae, Plant Bugs) are Adelphocoris fasciaticollis (about 10%) and Eurystylus coelestialium (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orthotylus flavosparsus is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (13 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.
