Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bumetopia oscitans sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 555th 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.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bumetopia oscitans in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months.
Only Hong Kong, in our data
Hong Kong is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Bumetopia oscitans sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Bumetopia oscitans 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 Bumetopia oscitans is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (15 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.
