With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ōmizuao sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 153 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 103rd 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 to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ōmizuao in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in October to March, the lowest months.
Between midnight and 3 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ōmizuao sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Ōmizuao sightings, Tokyo has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Osaka (Japan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ōmizuao is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (153 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.
