With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Large Faun sighting in Guangzhou on a given day, based on 58 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 46th most-seen of the 482 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and June
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Large Faun in Guangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in December and January, the lowest months. Those are among Guangzhou's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain a month against 30 mm in December.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Large Faun sightings, Guangzhou ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Hong Kong (China, about 20%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Large Faun that you can see in Guangzhou (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Lemon Pansy (about 20%), Chocolate Pansy (about 20%) and Great Eggfly (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Large Faun is recorded against all the insects logged in Guangzhou (58 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.
