With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Camponotus obscuripes sighting in Osaka on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 167th most-seen of the 352 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 October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Camponotus obscuripes in Osaka on a given day, against under 5% in November to March, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Camponotus obscuripes sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Camponotus obscuripes sightings, Osaka ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Sendai (Japan, about 20%) and Sapporo (Japan, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Camponotus obscuripes is recorded against all the insects logged in Osaka (13 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.
