With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ptecticus aurifer sighting in Nanjing on a given day, based on 26 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
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Ptecticus aurifer in Nanjing on a given day, against under 5% in November to March, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ptecticus aurifer is recorded against all the insects logged in Nanjing (26 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.
