With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a China Grass Lizard sighting in Nanjing on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 9th most-seen of the 11 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and August–September
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a China Grass Lizard in Nanjing on a given day, against under 5% in July and October–April, the lowest months. Those are among Nanjing's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in December.
Only Nanjing, in our data
Nanjing is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate China Grass Lizard sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the China Grass Lizard is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Nanjing (9 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.
