Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Grey Swallowtail Moth sighting in Guangzhou on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 355th 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 and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Grey Swallowtail Moth in Guangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in June and August–April, the lowest months. Those are among Guangzhou's wettest months, with about 240 mm of rain a month against 30 mm in December.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Grey Swallowtail Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
20th of 20
Of the 20 cities where we can rate Grey Swallowtail Moth sightings, Guangzhou ranks 20th at under 5%. The best odds are in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (India, about 30%), Jabalpur (India, about 20%) and Thiruvananthapuram (India, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Grey Swallowtail Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Guangzhou (7 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.
