Autosticha calceata is a moth in the family Autostichidae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1908. It is found in Sri Lanka. The wingspan is 11–15 mm. The forewings are white, sometimes partially fuscous tinged, more or less sprinkled with fuscous and a few blackish scales. There are small blackish spots on the costa at the base, one-fourth, and the middle, and an almost marginal series extending around the posterior part of the costa and termen to the dorsum before the tornus. The stigmata are large and blackish, the plical obliquely beyond the first discal. Additional blackish dots are found beneath the costa near the base, and between the median costal and second discal stigma. The hindwings are pale grey. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Autosticha calceata sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 61 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 178th most-seen of the 1125 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.
March to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Autosticha calceata in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in October to 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 Autosticha calceata sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Autosticha calceata 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 Autosticha calceata is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (61 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.
