In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Glyphodes negatalis, the karanj defoliator, is a moth of the family Crambidae. The species was first described by Francis Walker in 1859. It has a wide range in the tropics, including South Africa, The Gambia, Mali, India, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, Japan, and eastern Australia (including New South Wales and Queensland).
The wingspan is about 20 mm. The larvae feed on Dillenia indica, Ficus microcarpa and Ficus religiosa (Moraceae). In India, they had been found also as a main defoliator of Pongamia pinnata (karanj), and in Japan, the larvae had been found on Ficus superba var. japonica. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dysallacta negatalis sighting in Guangzhou on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 390th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dysallacta negatalis in Guangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months. That is one of Guangzhou's wettest months, with about 280 mm of rain against 30 mm in December.
4th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Dysallacta negatalis sightings, Guangzhou ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Xiuying District (China, about 20%), Tuen Mun (China, about 10%) and Hong Kong (China, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dysallacta negatalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Guangzhou (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.
