Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dark-Edged Snow Flat sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 429th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, June–July and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dark-Edged Snow Flat in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in April–May, August and October–February, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 180 mm of rain a month 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 Dark-Edged Snow Flat sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dark-Edged Snow Flat is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (22 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.
