Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Riptortus pedestris sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 555th 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.
June and September–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Riptortus pedestris in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in July–August and November–May, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in December.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Riptortus pedestris sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
21st of 22
Of the 22 cities where we can rate Riptortus pedestris sightings, Hong Kong ranks 21st at under 5%. The best odds are in Shenyang (China, about 30%), Gwangju (South Korea, about 20%) and Daejeon (South Korea, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Riptortus pedestris is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (15 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.
