Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hyblaea firmamentum sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 819th 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.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hyblaea firmamentum in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hyblaea firmamentum sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Hyblaea firmamentum sightings, Hong Kong ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Taipei (Taiwan, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, under 5%).
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Hyblaea firmamentum that you can see in Hong Kong (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Red-Based Jezebel (about 40%), Common Mormon Swallowtail (about 30%) and Ceylon Blue Glassy Tiger (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hyblaea firmamentum is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (8 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.
