With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cylindera kaleea sighting in Shanghai on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 67th most-seen of the 215 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Cylindera kaleea in Shanghai on a given day, against under 5% in August and October–May, the lowest months. Those are among Shanghai's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 55 mm in December.
Among the best
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Cylindera kaleea sightings, Shanghai ranks 4th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Hangzhou (China, about 10%), Nanjing (China, about 10%) and Tokyo (Japan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cylindera kaleea is recorded against all the insects logged in Shanghai (23 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.
