Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Clown Stink Bug sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 57 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 215th 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–May, September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Clown Stink Bug in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in June–August, October and December–March, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Clown Stink Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Clown Stink Bug sightings, Tokyo ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Jinan (China, about 20%), Beijing (China, about 10%) and Qingdao (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Clown Stink Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (57 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.
