With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Eophileurus chinensis sighting in Nanjing on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 40th 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.
April–May and July
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Eophileurus chinensis in Nanjing on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, August and October, the lowest months. Those are among Nanjing's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in December.
3rd of 12
Of the 12 cities where we can rate Eophileurus chinensis sightings, Nanjing ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Hefei (China, about 20%) and Jinan (China, about 20%).
Same family: Scarabaeidae
The closest relatives of the Eophileurus chinensis that you can see in Nanjing (family Scarabaeidae, Scarabs) are Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle (about 20%), Oriental Flower Beetle (about 10%) and Japanese Drone Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eophileurus chinensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Nanjing (28 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.
