Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chabula acamasalis sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 778th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chabula acamasalis in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in March to January, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain against 280 mm in June.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chabula acamasalis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
7th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Chabula acamasalis sightings, Hong Kong ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Chennai (India, about 10%), New Delhi (India, under 5%) and Bengaluru (India, under 5%).
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Chabula acamasalis that you can see in Hong Kong (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth (about 10%), Heortia vitessoides (about 10%) and Camptomastix hisbonalis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chabula acamasalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (9 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.
