Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Angonyx testacea sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 450th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Angonyx testacea in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in September 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.
Only Hong Kong, in our data
Hong Kong is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Angonyx testacea sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Sphingidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Angonyx testacea is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (21 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.
