With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bamboo Tiger Longhorn sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 37 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 275th most-seen of the 1125 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bamboo Tiger Longhorn in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in July to March, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 200 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in December.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bamboo Tiger Longhorn sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Bamboo Tiger Longhorn sightings, Hong Kong ranks 5th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 10%), Dhaka (Bangladesh, about 10%) and Kolkata (India, about 10%).
Same genus: Chlorophorus
The closest relatives of the Bamboo Tiger Longhorn that you can see in Hong Kong (genus Chlorophorus) are Chlorophorus douei (about 10%) and Chlorophorus macaumensis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bamboo Tiger Longhorn is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (37 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.
