With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Pavement Ant sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 125 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 130th most-seen of the 1013 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Pavement Ant in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in October to February, the lowest months.
5th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Japanese Pavement Ant sightings, Tokyo ranks 5th at about 10%. The best odds are in Sendai (Japan, about 20%), Busan (South Korea, about 20%) and Seoul (South Korea, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Japanese Pavement Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (125 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.
