With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Queenless Ant sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 165 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 99th 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.
April–August and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Queenless Ant in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in September and November–March, the lowest months.
10th of 13
Of the 13 cities where we can rate Japanese Queenless Ant sightings, Tokyo ranks 10th at about 10%. The best odds are in Hefei (China, about 20%), Nagoya (Japan, about 20%) and Busan (South Korea, about 20%).
Same family: Formicidae
The closest relatives of the Japanese Queenless Ant that you can see in Tokyo (family Formicidae, Ants) are Japanese Carpenter Ant (about 20%), Japanese Wood Ant (about 20%) and Japanese Pavement Ant (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Japanese Queenless Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (165 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.
