Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Pavement Ant sighting in Shanghai on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 166th most-seen of the 215 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July to October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Pavement Ant in Shanghai on a given day, against under 5% in November to June, the lowest months.
7th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Japanese Pavement Ant sightings, Shanghai ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Sendai (Japan, about 20%), Busan (South Korea, about 20%) and Seoul (South Korea, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Japanese Pavement Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Shanghai (6 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.
