Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Xya japonica sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 726th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Xya japonica in Tokyo on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Xya japonica sightings, Tokyo ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Seoul (South Korea, about 10%).
Same order: Orthoptera
The closest relatives of the Xya japonica that you can see in Tokyo (order Orthoptera, Grasshoppers, Crickets, and Katydids) are Atractomorpha lata (about 20%), Oriental Longheaded Locust (about 20%) and Patanga japonica (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Xya japonica is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (13 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.
