Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lesser Atlas 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.
June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lesser Atlas Moth in Guangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–May, the lowest months. Those are among Guangzhou's wettest months, with about 280 mm of rain a month against 30 mm in December.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Lesser Atlas Moth sightings, Guangzhou ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Taipei (Taiwan, about 10%) and Hong Kong (China, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lesser Atlas 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.
