Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Amata sperbius sighting in Guangzhou on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 211th most-seen of the 482 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Amata sperbius in Guangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, the lowest months. Those are among Guangzhou's wettest months, with about 260 mm of rain a month against 30 mm in December.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Amata sperbius sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
9th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Amata sperbius sightings, Guangzhou ranks 9th at under 5%. The best odds are in Guwahati (India, about 20%), Nanning (China, about 20%) and Hanoi (Vietnam, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Amata sperbius is recorded against all the insects logged in Guangzhou (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.
