With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Apriona rugicollis sighting in Nanjing on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 170th most-seen of the 272 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Apriona rugicollis in Nanjing on a given day, against under 5% in August to April, the lowest months. That is one of Nanjing's wettest months, with about 240 mm of rain against 40 mm in December.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Apriona rugicollis is recorded against all the insects logged in Nanjing (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.
