No species of the same family or order lives in Hiroshima, so these are its closest relatives here: other insects.
Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Green Chafer sighting in Hiroshima on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 11th most-seen of the 14 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and September
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Green Chafer in Hiroshima on a given day, against under 5% in February–June and October–December, the lowest months. Those are among Hiroshima's wettest months, with about 220 mm of rain a month against 65 mm in January.
2nd of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Green Chafer sightings, Hiroshima ranks 2nd at about 20%. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green Chafer is recorded against all the insects logged in Hiroshima (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.
