Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Acalolepta permutans sighting in Guangzhou on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 441st most-seen of the 482 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Acalolepta permutans in Guangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months. That is one of Guangzhou's wettest months, with about 280 mm of rain against 30 mm in December.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Acalolepta permutans sightings, Guangzhou ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Hong Kong (China, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Acalolepta permutans is recorded against all the insects logged in Guangzhou (5 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.
