No species of the same family or order lives in Harbin, so these are its closest relatives here: other insects.
Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Comma sighting in Harbin on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Comma in Harbin on a given day, against under 5% in April to July, the lowest months. That is one of Harbin's wettest months, with about 120 mm of rain against 5 mm in January.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Asian Comma sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
13th of 28
Of the 28 cities where we can rate Asian Comma sightings, Harbin ranks 13th at about 20%. The best odds are in Changsha (China, about 30%), Gwangju (South Korea, about 30%) and Changzhou (China, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asian Comma is recorded against all the insects logged in Harbin (5 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.
