Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Leptocoris vicinus sighting in Guangzhou on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 329th 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.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Leptocoris vicinus in Guangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months. Those are among Guangzhou's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain a month against 30 mm in December.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Leptocoris vicinus sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Leptocoris vicinus sightings, Guangzhou ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Taichung (Taiwan, about 20%), Tainan (Taiwan, about 20%) and Taipei (Taiwan, about 20%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Leptocoris vicinus that you can see in Guangzhou (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Lychee Stink Bug (about 10%), Litchi Lantern Bug (about 10%) and Yellow-Spotted Stink Bug (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Leptocoris vicinus is recorded against all the insects logged in Guangzhou (8 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.
