With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Jewel Beetle sighting in Nagoya on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 127th most-seen of the 195 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Jewel Beetle in Nagoya on a given day, against under 5% in October to May, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Japanese Jewel Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Japanese Jewel Beetle sightings, Nagoya has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Osaka (Japan, about 10%) and Tokyo (Japan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Japanese Jewel Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Nagoya (7 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.
