About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Amphibious Litter Cockroach sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 291 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 29th most-seen of the 1125 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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Amphibious Litter Cockroach is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (291 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.
