Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gutta Bug sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 59 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 210th 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.
July–September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Gutta Bug in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in October and December–June, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Gutta Bug sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
8th of 11
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Gutta Bug sightings, Tokyo ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Zhuhai [Macau] (China, about 20%), Nagoya (Japan, about 10%) and Hong Kong (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gutta Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (59 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.
