With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cylindera kaleea sighting in Nanjing on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 60th most-seen of the 272 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Cylindera kaleea in Nanjing on a given day, against under 5% in October to May, the lowest months. That is one of Nanjing's wettest months, with about 240 mm of rain against 40 mm in December.
Among the best
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Cylindera kaleea sightings, Nanjing ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Hangzhou (China, about 10%).
Same family: Carabidae
The closest relatives of the Cylindera kaleea that you can see in Nanjing (family Carabidae, Ground Beetles) are Carabus elysii (about 20%), Calosoma maximowiczi (about 10%) and Diplocheila zeelandica (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cylindera kaleea is recorded against all the insects logged in Nanjing (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.
