Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Stathmopoda auriferella sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 222nd 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 Stathmopoda auriferella 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.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Stathmopoda auriferella sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Stathmopoda auriferella sightings, Beijing ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%), Hong Kong (China, about 10%) and Seoul (South Korea, about 10%).
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Stathmopoda auriferella that you can see in Beijing (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Small White (about 20%), Asian Comma (about 20%) and Fall Webworm Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Stathmopoda auriferella is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (10 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.
