Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Riptortus linearis sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 522nd 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 and July–August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Riptortus linearis in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in May–June and September–March, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in December.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Riptortus linearis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Riptortus linearis sightings, Hong Kong ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Naha (Japan, about 30%), Kochi (India, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Riptortus linearis is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (16 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.
