With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Cross-Lined Wave Moth sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 141 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 75th most-seen of the 1125 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Asian Cross-Lined Wave Moth in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in January and March, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain against 25 mm in December.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Asian Cross-Lined Wave Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (141 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.
