With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Geisha distinctissima sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 292 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 61st most-seen of the 1013 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and September–October
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Geisha distinctissima in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in December to June, the lowest months. Those are among Tokyo's wettest months, with about 200 mm of rain a month against 75 mm in February.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Geisha distinctissima sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Geisha distinctissima sightings, Tokyo ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Busan (South Korea, about 20%) and Sendai (Japan, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Geisha distinctissima is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (292 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.
