Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Menida formosa 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.
January, May and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Menida formosa in Guangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in February–April, June–September and November–December, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Menida formosa sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Menida formosa sightings, Guangzhou ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kolkata (India, about 10%), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia, about 10%) and Bengaluru (India, under 5%).
Same family: Pentatomidae
The closest relatives of the Menida formosa that you can see in Guangzhou (family Pentatomidae, Stink Bugs) are Yellow-Spotted Stink Bug (about 10%), Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (about 10%) and Chalcopis glandulosa (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Menida formosa 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.
