Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Filodes fulvidorsalis sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 522nd 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–April and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Filodes fulvidorsalis in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in May–June and August–February, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Filodes fulvidorsalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
2nd of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Filodes fulvidorsalis sightings, Hong Kong ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Filodes fulvidorsalis that you can see in Hong Kong (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth (about 10%), Heortia vitessoides (about 10%) and Camptomastix hisbonalis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Filodes fulvidorsalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (16 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.
