Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mecopoda niponensis sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 770th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mecopoda niponensis in Tokyo on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Mecopoda niponensis sightings, Tokyo ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Wuhan (China, about 10%), Shanghai (China, about 10%) and Nanjing (China, about 10%).
Same family: Tettigoniidae
The closest relatives of the Mecopoda niponensis that you can see in Tokyo (family Tettigoniidae, Katydids) are Euconocephalus varius (about 10%), Spotted Meadow Katydid (about 10%) and Japanese Green Bush-Cricket (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mecopoda niponensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (11 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.
