With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Painted Bug sighting in Nanjing on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 223rd 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Painted Bug in Nanjing on a given day, against under 5% in August to March, the lowest months. Those are among Nanjing's wettest months, with about 150 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in December.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Painted Bug sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Painted Bug sightings, Nanjing ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Seoul (South Korea, about 10%) and Beijing (China, about 10%).
Same family: Pentatomidae
The closest relatives of the Painted Bug that you can see in Nanjing (family Pentatomidae, Stink Bugs) are Yellow-Spotted Stink Bug (about 20%), Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (about 10%) and Graphosoma rubrolineatum (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Painted Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Nanjing (6 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.
