With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Polyommatus amorata sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 31 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 101st 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.
May to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Polyommatus amorata in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, the lowest months. Those are among Beijing's wettest months, with about 95 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 Polyommatus amorata sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Lycaenidae
The closest relatives of the Polyommatus amorata that you can see in Beijing (family Lycaenidae, Gossamer-winged Butterflies) are Short-Tailed Blue (about 10%), Tongeia filicaudis (about 10%) and Common Flash (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Polyommatus amorata is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (31 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.
