Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Ptecticus aurifer sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 201st 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 a Ptecticus aurifer 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.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ptecticus aurifer sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
9th of 10
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Ptecticus aurifer sightings, Beijing ranks 9th at under 5%. The best odds are in Nanjing (China, about 10%), Fuzhou (China, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ptecticus aurifer is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (11 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.
