Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Painted Bug sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 61 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 210th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–April, July–August and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Painted Bug in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in May–June, September and November–February, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Painted Bug sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Painted Bug sightings, Tokyo ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Seoul (South Korea, about 10%), Beijing (China, about 10%) and Nanjing (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Painted Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (61 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.
