Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Acalolepta permutans sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 506th most-seen of the 1125 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May–June and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Acalolepta permutans in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in July and October–April, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 220 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in December.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Acalolepta permutans sightings, Hong Kong has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Guangzhou (China, under 5%) and Taipei (Taiwan, under 5%).
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Acalolepta permutans that you can see in Hong Kong (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Mango Longhorn Beetle (about 10%), Citrus Longhorn Beetle (about 10%) and Kapok Longhorned Borer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Acalolepta permutans is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (19 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.
