Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Eumorphus quadriguttatus sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 488th 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.
June and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eumorphus quadriguttatus in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 230 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in December.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Eumorphus quadriguttatus sightings, Hong Kong ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Hangzhou (China, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, under 5%).
Same order: Coleoptera

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eumorphus quadriguttatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (21 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.
