Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Parapoynx vittalis sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 288th most-seen of the 401 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 and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Parapoynx vittalis in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in September to June, the lowest months. Those are among Beijing's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Parapoynx vittalis sightings, Beijing ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Seoul (South Korea, under 5%).
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Parapoynx vittalis that you can see in Beijing (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth (about 10%), Box Tree Moth (about 10%) and Rush Veneer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Parapoynx vittalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (7 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.
