Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Psilogramma discistriga sighting in Guangzhou on a given day, based on 14 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.
May–June and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Psilogramma discistriga in Guangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in July–September and November–April, the lowest months. Those are among Guangzhou's wettest months, with about 220 mm of rain a month against 30 mm in December.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Psilogramma discistriga sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Psilogramma discistriga sightings, Guangzhou ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Manila (Philippines, about 10%).
Same family: Sphingidae
The closest relatives of the Psilogramma discistriga that you can see in Guangzhou (family Sphingidae, Sphinx Moths) are Oleander Hawkmoth (about 10%), Dull Swirled Hawkmoth (about 10%) and Theretra rhesus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Psilogramma discistriga is recorded against all the insects logged in Guangzhou (14 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.
