Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nepalese Turtle Beetle sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 648th 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.
March and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nepalese Turtle Beetle in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in April–June and August–February, the lowest months.
6th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Nepalese Turtle Beetle sightings, Hong Kong ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 20%), Naha (Japan, about 10%) and Tokyo (Japan, about 10%).
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Nepalese Turtle 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 Nepalese Turtle Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (13 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.
