Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Nepalese Turtle Beetle sighting in Nagoya on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 41st most-seen of the 195 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and September
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Nepalese Turtle Beetle in Nagoya on a given day, against under 5% in July–August and November–March, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nepalese Turtle Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Nagoya (20 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.
