Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hypospila bolinoides sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 555th 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.
February, October and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hypospila bolinoides in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in January, March–September and November, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's driest months, with about 35 mm of rain a month against 280 mm in June.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Hypospila bolinoides sightings, Hong Kong ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Chennai (India, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Hypospila bolinoides that you can see in Hong Kong (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Banyan Tussock Moth (about 20%), Orvasca subnotata (about 20%) and Zhejiang Tussock Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hypospila bolinoides is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (15 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.
