With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asota plaginota sighting in Guangzhou on a given day, based on 35 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 86th most-seen of the 482 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and April–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asota plaginota in Guangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in March and November–January, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Asota plaginota sightings, Guangzhou ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 10%) and Hong Kong (China, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Asota plaginota that you can see in Guangzhou (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Banyan Tussock Moth (about 10%), Nyctemera adversata (about 10%) and Orvasca subnotata (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asota plaginota is recorded against all the insects logged in Guangzhou (35 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.
