About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Miridiba trichophora sighting in Shanghai on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 94th 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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Miridiba trichophora is recorded against all the insects logged in Shanghai (14 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.
