Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Erebus ephesperis sighting in Guangzhou on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 441st 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.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Erebus ephesperis in Guangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Erebus ephesperis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Erebus ephesperis sightings, Guangzhou ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kozhikode (India, about 10%), Singapore (Singapore, about 10%) and Taipei (Taiwan, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Erebus ephesperis 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 Asota plaginota (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Erebus ephesperis is recorded against all the insects logged in Guangzhou (5 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.
