With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Parapolybia varia sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 120th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April, July–September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Parapolybia varia in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in May–June, October and December–March, the lowest months. Those are among Beijing's wettest months, with about 70 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Parapolybia varia sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Parapolybia varia sightings, Beijing ranks 6th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 10%), Guangzhou (China, about 10%) and Nanjing (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Parapolybia varia is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (22 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.
