Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dysgonia stuposa sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 467th 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.
April, June, August and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dysgonia stuposa in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in May, July, September and November–March, the lowest months.
4th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Dysgonia stuposa sightings, Hong Kong ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Hyderabad (India, about 10%), Chennai (India, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Dysgonia stuposa that you can see in Hong Kong (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Banyan Tussock Moth (about 20%), Orvasca subnotata (about 20%) and Zhejiang Tussock Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dysgonia stuposa is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (19 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.
