With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ernolatia moorei sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 36 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 275th most-seen of the 1125 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–May and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ernolatia moorei in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in June and August–January, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ernolatia moorei sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Ernolatia moorei sightings, Hong Kong ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Taipei (Taiwan, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ernolatia moorei is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (36 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.
