Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Camponotus obscuripes sighting in Sapporo on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 44 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Camponotus obscuripes in Sapporo on a given day, against under 5% in November to April, 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.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Camponotus obscuripes sightings, Sapporo ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sendai (Japan, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Camponotus obscuripes is recorded against all the insects logged in Sapporo (19 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.
