Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Apriona rugicollis sighting in Guangzhou on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 355th 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 and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Apriona rugicollis in Guangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months. Those are among Guangzhou's wettest months, with about 300 mm of rain a month against 30 mm in December.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Apriona rugicollis sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
8th of 10
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Apriona rugicollis sightings, Guangzhou ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Hangzhou (China, about 10%), Taichung (Taiwan, about 10%) and Taipei (Taiwan, about 10%).
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Apriona rugicollis that you can see in Guangzhou (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Mango Longhorn Beetle (about 10%), Kapok Longhorned Borer (about 10%) and Citrus Longhorn Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Apriona rugicollis is recorded against all the insects logged in Guangzhou (7 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.
