Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Crypsiptya coclesalis sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 925th 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
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Crypsiptya coclesalis in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain against 25 mm in December.
Only Hong Kong, in our data
Hong Kong is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Crypsiptya coclesalis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Crypsiptya coclesalis 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 Crypsiptya coclesalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (6 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.
