With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oriental Flower Beetle sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 73 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 143rd 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Oriental Flower Beetle in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in September to March, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 280 mm of rain against 25 mm in December.
22nd of 27
Of the 27 cities where we can rate Oriental Flower Beetle sightings, Hong Kong ranks 22nd at about 10%. The best odds are in Quanzhou (China, about 40%), Nanchang (China, about 30%) and Shanghai (China, about 20%).
Same family: Scarabaeidae
The closest relatives of the Oriental Flower Beetle that you can see in Hong Kong (family Scarabaeidae, Scarabs) are Euselates magna (about 10%), Anomala russiventris (about 10%) and Exolontha serrulata (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oriental Flower Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (73 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.
