Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hedya iophaea sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 467th 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.
June–July and September–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hedya iophaea in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in August and November–May, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in December.
Only Hong Kong, in our data
Hong Kong is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Hedya iophaea sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Tortricidae
The closest relatives of the Hedya iophaea that you can see in Hong Kong (family Tortricidae, Tortricid Leafroller Moths) are Appleleaf-Curling Moth (about 10%), Lobesia aeolopa (about 10%) and Spilonota mortuana (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hedya iophaea is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (19 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.
