Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Elasmostethus nubilus sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 374th 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.
January to April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Elasmostethus nubilus in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in May to December, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain a month against 280 mm in June.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Elasmostethus nubilus sightings, Hong Kong ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Taipei (Taiwan, about 10%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Elasmostethus nubilus that you can see in Hong Kong (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Litchi Lantern Bug (about 20%), Lychee Stink Bug (about 20%) and Ricania guttata (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Elasmostethus nubilus is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (25 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.
