With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ptecticus aurifer sighting in Hangzhou on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 50th most-seen of the 172 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–July and September–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ptecticus aurifer in Hangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in August and November–March, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ptecticus aurifer sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Ptecticus aurifer sightings, Hangzhou ranks 4th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Nanjing (China, about 10%), Fuzhou (China, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
Same family: Stratiomyidae
The closest relatives of the Ptecticus aurifer that you can see in Hangzhou (family Stratiomyidae, Soldier Flies) are Microchrysa flaviventris (about 10%) and Black Soldier Fly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ptecticus aurifer is recorded against all the insects logged in Hangzhou (12 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.
