With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brunia antica sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 79 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 137th 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January to November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brunia antica in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in December, the lowest month.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brunia antica is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (79 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.
