Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Apha kantonensis sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 522nd 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.
March, May and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Apha kantonensis in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in April, June and August–February, the lowest months.
Only Hong Kong, in our data
Hong Kong is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Apha kantonensis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Apha kantonensis that you can see in Hong Kong (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Red-Based Jezebel (about 40%), Common Mormon Swallowtail (about 30%) and Ceylon Blue Glassy Tiger (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Apha kantonensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (16 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.
