Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gabala argentata sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 925th 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
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Gabala argentata in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 220 mm of rain against 25 mm in December.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Gabala argentata sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Hong Kong, in our data
Hong Kong is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Gabala argentata sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nolidae
The closest relatives of the Gabala argentata that you can see in Hong Kong (family Nolidae, Tufted Moths) are Meganola brunellus (about 10%), Melanographia flexilineata (about 10%) and Nola pascua (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gabala argentata is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (6 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.
