Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Maliattha signifera sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 929th most-seen of the 1013 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Maliattha signifera in Tokyo on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Maliattha signifera sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
7th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Maliattha signifera sightings, Tokyo ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Colombo [Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte] (Sri Lanka, about 10%), Hyderabad (India, about 10%) and Kochi (India, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Maliattha signifera is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (5 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.
