Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sipalinus gigas sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 929th most-seen of the 1013 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sipalinus gigas in Tokyo on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sipalinus gigas sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Sipalinus gigas sightings, Tokyo ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Nanjing (China, about 10%), Hangzhou (China, about 10%) and Seoul (South Korea, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sipalinus gigas is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (5 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.
