Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Niphona furcata sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 470th 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.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Niphona furcata in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months.
Only Tokyo, in our data
Tokyo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Niphona furcata sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Niphona furcata that you can see in Tokyo (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Citrus Longhorn Beetle (about 10%), Paraglenea fortunei (about 10%) and Aeolesthes chrysothrix (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Niphona furcata is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (19 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.
