With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Polyrhachis illaudata sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 32 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 345th 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 October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Polyrhachis illaudata in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in June–September and November–March, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Polyrhachis illaudata sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Polyrhachis illaudata sightings, Hong Kong ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Zhuhai [Macau] (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Polyrhachis illaudata is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (32 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.
