With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Azalea Argid Sawfly sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 345th 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.
March–June and November–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Azalea Argid Sawfly in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in February and July–October, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Azalea Argid Sawfly sightings, Hong Kong ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tokyo (Japan, about 10%) and Seoul (South Korea, about 10%).
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Azalea Argid Sawfly that you can see in Hong Kong (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Asian Weaver Ant (about 30%), Asian Honey Bee (about 30%) and Yellow-Legged Hornet (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Azalea Argid Sawfly is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (27 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.
