Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Polyrhachis illaudata sighting in Guangzhou on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 230th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May, July and October

Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Polyrhachis illaudata sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Polyrhachis illaudata sightings, Guangzhou ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Zhuhai [Macau] (China, about 10%) and Hong Kong (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Polyrhachis illaudata is recorded against all the insects logged in Guangzhou (13 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.
