Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Olepa ricini sighting in Bangkok on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 203rd most-seen of the 245 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.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Olepa ricini in Bangkok on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Bangkok's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain against 10 mm in December.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Olepa ricini sightings, Bangkok ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%), Kochi (India, about 10%) and Manila (Philippines, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Olepa ricini that you can see in Bangkok (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Psichotoe duvauceli (about 10%) and Amata sperbius (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Olepa ricini is recorded against all the insects logged in Bangkok (6 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.
