Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rice Leaf Bug sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 162nd 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.
May–June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rice Leaf Bug in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–April, the lowest months. Those are among Beijing's wettest months, with about 75 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Yes
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Rice Leaf Bug sightings, Beijing has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Helsinki (Finland, under 5%) and Montreal (Canada, under 5%).
Same family: Miridae
The closest relatives of the Rice Leaf Bug 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 Rice Leaf Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (15 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.
