Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Scopelodes contracta sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 509th 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.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Scopelodes contracta in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Scopelodes contracta sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Tokyo, in our data
Tokyo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Scopelodes contracta sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Scopelodes contracta is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (16 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.
