Aristobia reticulator
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Aristobia reticulator is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is known from Bhutan, Myanmar, India, China, Laos, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Vietnam. It feeds on Prunus persica, Liquidambar formosana, Quercus acutissima, Prunus salicina, and Nephelium mutabile. Many references list the name as Aristobia testudo, but this name, though published earlier, is unavailable under the ICZN, primarily in that Johann Eusebius Voet's 1778 work giving the name testudo fails to fulfill the requirement in ICZN Article 11.4 that a work must be consistently binomial; none of Voet's 1778 names, including testudo, are available.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Aristobia reticulator sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1005th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Aristobia reticulator in Hong Kong on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Aristobia reticulator sightings, Hong Kong ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Aristobia reticulator 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 Aristobia reticulator is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (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.
