Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Catocala patala sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 509th 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.
July

Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Catocala patala sightings, Tokyo ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Osaka (Japan, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Catocala patala 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.
