Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Litchi Lantern Bug sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 429 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 12th most-seen of the 1125 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Litchi Lantern Bug in Hong Kong on a given day, against about 10% in January, June and August, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Litchi Lantern Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Litchi Lantern Bug sightings, Hong Kong ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Litchi Lantern Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (429 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.
