Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Acosmeryx anceus sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 613th most-seen of the 1125 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 July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Acosmeryx anceus in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 230 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in December.

Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Acosmeryx anceus sightings, Hong Kong ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kochi (India, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Acosmeryx anceus is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (13 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.
