With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eudocima homaena sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 44 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 242nd 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and June–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eudocima homaena in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in May and December–March, the lowest months.
Between midnight and 3 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eudocima homaena sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Yes
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Eudocima homaena sightings, Hong Kong has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Chennai (India, about 10%) and Bengaluru (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eudocima homaena is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (44 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.
