With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Reddish Mantis sighting in Osaka on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 98th 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Reddish Mantis in Osaka on a given day, against under 5% in January to June, the lowest months. That is one of Osaka's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain against 55 mm in January.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chinese Reddish Mantis sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Chinese Reddish Mantis sightings, Osaka has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Tokyo (Japan, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chinese Reddish Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Osaka (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.
