Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Choreutis basalis sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 731st 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.
October
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Choreutis basalis in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in November to September, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's driest months, with about 50 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 Choreutis basalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Choreutis basalis sightings, Hong Kong ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Taipei (Taiwan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Choreutis basalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (10 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.
