Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Maile Pilau Hornworm sighting in Guangzhou on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 197th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and October–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Maile Pilau Hornworm in Guangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in January and March–September, the lowest months. Those are among Guangzhou's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain a month against 330 mm in June.
11th of 15
Of the 15 cities where we can rate Maile Pilau Hornworm sightings, Guangzhou ranks 11th at under 5%. The best odds are in Changzhou (China, about 30%), Busan (South Korea, about 20%) and Tokyo (Japan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Maile Pilau Hornworm is recorded against all the insects logged in Guangzhou (15 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.
