With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nerthus taivanicus sighting in Nanjing on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 188th 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.
November
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Nerthus taivanicus in Nanjing on a given day, against under 5% in July, September and December–April, the lowest months. That is one of Nanjing's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain against 240 mm in July.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nerthus taivanicus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nerthus taivanicus 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.
