With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green Chafer sighting in Naha on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 50th most-seen of the 94 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Green Chafer in Naha on a given day, against under 5% in August to April, the lowest months. Those are among Naha's wettest months, with about 270 mm of rain a month against 60 mm in February.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Green Chafer sightings, Naha ranks 5th at about 10%. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 30%), Hiroshima (Japan, about 20%) and Osaka (Japan, about 20%).
Same family: Scarabaeidae
The closest relatives of the Green Chafer that you can see in Naha (family Scarabaeidae, Scarabs) are Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (about 10%) and Midway Emerald Beetle (about 10%), 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 Naha (8 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.
