Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Heptodonta posticalis sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 407th 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.
May to July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Heptodonta posticalis in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in August to April, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 230 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in December.
Only Hong Kong, in our data
Hong Kong is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Heptodonta posticalis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Carabidae
The closest relatives of the Heptodonta posticalis that you can see in Hong Kong (family Carabidae, Ground Beetles) are Tricondyla pulchripes (about 20%), Cicindela juxtata (about 20%) and Golden-Spotted Tiger Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Heptodonta posticalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (23 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.
