With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Theretra japonica sighting in Hangzhou on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 61st most-seen of the 172 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and September
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Theretra japonica in Hangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in October to May, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Theretra japonica sightings, Hangzhou ranks 7th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 10%), Seoul (South Korea, about 10%) and Wuhan (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Theretra japonica is recorded against all the insects logged in Hangzhou (11 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.
