With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Leptocoris vicinus sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 31 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 330th most-seen of the 1125 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–May and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Leptocoris vicinus in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in June–October and December, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Leptocoris vicinus sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Leptocoris vicinus sightings, Hong Kong ranks 6th at about 10%. The best odds are in Taichung (Taiwan, about 20%), Tainan (Taiwan, about 20%) and Taipei (Taiwan, about 20%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Leptocoris vicinus 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 Leptocoris vicinus is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (31 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.
