Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Greenish Silk-Moth sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 374th 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.
July and October–March
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Greenish Silk-Moth in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in April–June and August–September, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Greenish Silk-Moth sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
7th of 14
Of the 14 cities where we can rate Greenish Silk-Moth sightings, Hong Kong ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Chennai (India, about 10%), Hyderabad (India, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Greenish Silk-Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (24 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.
