With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Banded Gossamerwing sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 69 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 175th 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.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Banded Gossamerwing in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in February and October–December, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain against 25 mm in December.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Black-Banded Gossamerwing sightings, Hong Kong ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
Same order: Odonata
The closest relatives of the Black-Banded Gossamerwing that you can see in Hong Kong (order Odonata, Dragonflies and Damselflies) are Blue Marsh Hawk (about 30%), Indigo Dropwing (about 20%) and Crimson-Tailed Marsh Hawk (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-Banded Gossamerwing is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (69 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.
