With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hieroglyphus tonkinensis sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 352nd 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–May and July–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hieroglyphus tonkinensis in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in June and October–March, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 180 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in December.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Hieroglyphus tonkinensis sightings, Hong Kong ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Taipei (Taiwan, about 20%), Tuen Mun (China, about 10%) and Guangzhou (China, about 10%).
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Hieroglyphus tonkinensis that you can see in Hong Kong (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Carinate Locust (about 10%), Ceracris nigricornis (about 10%) and Short-Winged Rice Grasshopper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hieroglyphus tonkinensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (26 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.
