Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ernolatia moorei 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.
February and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ernolatia moorei in Guangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in March–May and July–January, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ernolatia moorei sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Ernolatia moorei sightings, Guangzhou ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Taipei (Taiwan, about 10%), Tuen Mun (China, about 10%) and Hong Kong (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ernolatia moorei 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.
