It is the 731st 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.
August to October

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Even-Banded Hawkmoth is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (10 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.
