With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oxya yezoensis sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 128 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 135th 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.
November
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Oxya yezoensis in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in January to July, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Oxya yezoensis sightings, Tokyo ranks 4th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 10%), Sapporo (Japan, about 10%) and Sendai (Japan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oxya yezoensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (128 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.
