Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lamprothripa scotia sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 374th 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.
January–February, April and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lamprothripa scotia in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in March, May–September and November–December, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain a month against 280 mm in June.
Only Hong Kong, in our data
Hong Kong is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Lamprothripa scotia sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nolidae
The closest relatives of the Lamprothripa scotia that you can see in Hong Kong (family Nolidae, Tufted Moths) are Meganola brunellus (about 10%), Melanographia flexilineata (about 10%) and Nola pascua (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lamprothripa scotia is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (27 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.
