With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Painted Bug sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 43 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 85th most-seen of the 401 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–August and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Painted Bug in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in September and December–February, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Painted Bug sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Painted Bug sightings, Beijing ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Seoul (South Korea, about 10%).
Same family: Pentatomidae
The closest relatives of the Painted Bug that you can see in Beijing (family Pentatomidae, Stink Bugs) are Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (about 10%), Yellow-Spotted Stink Bug (about 10%) and Sloe Bug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Painted Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (43 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.
