Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Metochus abbreviatus sighting in Hangzhou on a given day, based on 31 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 14th most-seen of the 172 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Metochus abbreviatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Hangzhou (31 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.
