Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Callicaria superba sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 46 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 252nd most-seen of the 1013 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.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Callicaria superba in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Callicaria superba sightings, Tokyo ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 10%).
Same family: Coccinellidae
The closest relatives of the Callicaria superba that you can see in Tokyo (family Coccinellidae, Lady Beetles) are Seven-Spotted Lady Beetle (about 20%), Asian Lady Beetle (about 20%) and Yellow Ladybird Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Callicaria superba is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (46 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.
