Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Patanga japonica sighting in Nagoya on a given day, based on 42 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 16th 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.
September
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Patanga japonica in Nagoya on a given day, against under 5% in December, the lowest month. That is one of Nagoya's wettest months, with about 220 mm of rain against 75 mm in January.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Patanga japonica is recorded against all the insects logged in Nagoya (42 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.
