With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Turtle Vein Lady Beetle sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 46 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 73rd 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.
June
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Turtle Vein Lady Beetle in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, the lowest months. That is one of Beijing's wettest months, with about 85 mm of rain against almost none in January.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Turtle Vein Lady Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (46 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.
