Sagra femorata
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Sagra femorata is a species of beetle belonging to the family Chrysomelidae. Sagra femorata can reach a length of 20 mm (0.79 in). These beetles have a striking sexual dimorphism. The males are much larger and have very long and strong hind legs resembling that of frogs (hence the common name). This remarkable morphology helps the males to dominate the opponents during the breeding. The basic color is quite variable, but usually it is metallic blue-green.
This species can be found in the forests of Cambodia, China, India, Java, Laos, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Frog-Legged Leaf Beetle sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 925th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Frog-Legged Leaf Beetle in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 280 mm of rain against 25 mm in December.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Frog-Legged Leaf Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
11th of 11
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Frog-Legged Leaf Beetle sightings, Hong Kong ranks 11th at under 5%. The best odds are in Surakarta (Indonesia, about 20%), Tasikmalaya (Indonesia, about 20%) and Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 10%).
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Frog-Legged Leaf Beetle that you can see in Hong Kong (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Podontia lutea (about 10%), Furcated Tortoise Beetle (about 10%) and Abirus fortuneii (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Frog-Legged Leaf Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (6 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.
