With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Riptortus pedestris sighting in Hangzhou on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 76th 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Riptortus pedestris in Hangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in May and September–March, the lowest months. That is one of Hangzhou's wettest months, with about 180 mm of rain against 65 mm in December.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Riptortus pedestris sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
11th of 22
Of the 22 cities where we can rate Riptortus pedestris sightings, Hangzhou ranks 11th at about 10%. The best odds are in Shenyang (China, about 30%), Gwangju (South Korea, about 20%) and Daejeon (South Korea, about 20%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Riptortus pedestris that you can see in Hangzhou (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Eastern Horse Cicada (about 20%), Metochus abbreviatus (about 20%) and Adrisa magna (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Riptortus pedestris is recorded against all the insects logged in Hangzhou (9 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.
