Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Polididus armatissimus sighting in Nanchang on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 5th most-seen of the 26 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Polididus armatissimus in Nanchang on a given day, against under 5% in March–April and September–October, the lowest months. Those are among Nanchang's wettest months, with about 250 mm of rain a month against 55 mm in October.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Polididus armatissimus sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Nanchang, in our data
Nanchang is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Polididus armatissimus sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Polididus armatissimus that you can see in Nanchang (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Eastern Horse Cicada (about 50%), Zig-Zag Winged Rice Leafhopper (about 30%) and Yellow-Spotted Stink Bug (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Polididus armatissimus is recorded against all the insects logged in Nanchang (21 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.
