Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Green Chafer sighting in Nagoya on a given day, based on 43 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 15th most-seen of the 195 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Green Chafer in Nagoya on a given day, against under 5% in October to May, the lowest months. That is one of Nagoya's wettest months, with about 230 mm of rain against 75 mm in January.
Yes
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Green Chafer sightings, Nagoya has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Hiroshima (Japan, about 20%) and Osaka (Japan, about 20%).
Same family: Scarabaeidae
The closest relatives of the Green Chafer that you can see in Nagoya (family Scarabaeidae, Scarabs) are Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle (about 20%), Oriental Beetle (about 20%) and Japanese Beetle (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green Chafer is recorded against all the insects logged in Nagoya (43 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.
