Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Ring-Shaped Longhorn sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 925th 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.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ring-Shaped Longhorn in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain against 25 mm in December.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Ring-Shaped Longhorn sightings, Hong Kong ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Guangzhou (China, under 5%).
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Ring-Shaped Longhorn that you can see in Hong Kong (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Mango Longhorn Beetle (about 10%), Citrus Longhorn Beetle (about 10%) and Kapok Longhorned Borer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ring-Shaped Longhorn is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (6 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.
