With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Amorphoscelis chinensis sighting in Nanjing on a given day, based on 35 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 29th most-seen of the 272 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.
August
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Amorphoscelis chinensis in Nanjing on a given day, against under 5% in January, March–May and October, the lowest months. That is one of Nanjing's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain against 40 mm in December.
Only Nanjing, in our data
Nanjing is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Amorphoscelis chinensis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Mantodea
The closest relatives of the Amorphoscelis chinensis that you can see in Nanjing (order Mantodea, Mantises) are Giant Asian Mantis (about 20%), Chinese Mantis (about 10%) and Asian Jumping Mantis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Amorphoscelis chinensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Nanjing (35 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.
