With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lobesia aeolopa sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 40 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 345th 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.
March to June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lobesia aeolopa in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in July to February, 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 Lobesia aeolopa sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Tortricidae
The closest relatives of the Lobesia aeolopa that you can see in Hong Kong (family Tortricidae, Tortricid Leafroller Moths) are Appleleaf-Curling Moth (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 Lobesia aeolopa is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (40 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.
