Maiestas dorsalis
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Maiestas dorsalis is a species of bug from the Cicadellidae family that may be called the "zig-zag leafhopper" and is a rice pest. It can be found in India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Borneo island, Taiwan, and Henan, province of China. It was formerly placed within Recilia and much of the rice pest information is under R. dorsalis, but a 2009 revision moved it to Maiestas. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Zig-Zag Winged Rice Leafhopper sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 680th 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.
August and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Zig-Zag Winged Rice Leafhopper in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in September and November–July, the lowest months.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Zig-Zag Winged Rice Leafhopper sightings, Hong Kong ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Nanchang (China, about 30%), Hyderabad (India, about 10%) and Kochi (India, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Zig-Zag Winged Rice Leafhopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (11 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.
