Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Palpoctenidia phoenicosoma sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 9 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Palpoctenidia phoenicosoma in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Palpoctenidia phoenicosoma sightings, Tokyo ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Osaka (Japan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Palpoctenidia phoenicosoma is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (9 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.
