Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Crisp-Banded Hummingbird Hawkmoth sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 648th 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.
July and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Crisp-Banded Hummingbird Hawkmoth in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in August and October–June, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in December.
4th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Crisp-Banded Hummingbird Hawkmoth sightings, Hong Kong ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 10%), Kaohsiung (Taiwan, about 10%) and Kochi (India, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Crisp-Banded Hummingbird Hawkmoth is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (12 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.
