With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hieromantis arcuata sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 330th most-seen of the 1125 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–March, May, July–August and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hieromantis arcuata in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in April, June, September and November–January, the lowest months.
Only Hong Kong, in our data
Hong Kong is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Hieromantis arcuata sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Stathmopodidae
The closest relatives of the Hieromantis arcuata that you can see in Hong Kong (family Stathmopodidae, Feather-legged Moths) are Stathmopoda stimulata (about 10%) and Stathmopoda auriferella (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hieromantis arcuata is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (30 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.
