With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Thosea sinensis sighting in Shanghai on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 86th 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.

In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Thosea sinensis in Shanghai on a given day, against under 5% in September and November–April, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Thosea sinensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Shanghai (16 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.
