Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Camponotus obscuripes sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 534th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Camponotus obscuripes in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Camponotus obscuripes sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Camponotus obscuripes sightings, Tokyo ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Sendai (Japan, about 20%), Sapporo (Japan, about 20%) and Osaka (Japan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Camponotus obscuripes is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (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.
