Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gymnoscelis taprobanica sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 868th 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Gymnoscelis taprobanica in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Only Hong Kong, in our data
Hong Kong is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Gymnoscelis taprobanica sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Gymnoscelis taprobanica is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (11 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.
