Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cryptaspasma helota sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 819th 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 Cryptaspasma helota 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 Cryptaspasma helota sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Tortricidae
The closest relatives of the Cryptaspasma helota that you can see in Hong Kong (family Tortricidae, Tortricid Leafroller Moths) are Appleleaf-Curling Moth (about 10%), Lobesia aeolopa (about 10%) and Spilonota mortuana (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cryptaspasma helota is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (8 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.
