Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Loboschiza koenigiana sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 731st 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.
October
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Loboschiza koenigiana in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in November to September, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain against 280 mm in June.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Loboschiza koenigiana sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
6th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Loboschiza koenigiana sightings, Hong Kong ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Chennai (India, about 10%), Hyderabad (India, about 10%) and New Delhi (India, about 10%).
Same family: Tortricidae
The closest relatives of the Loboschiza koenigiana that you can see in Hong Kong (family Tortricidae, Tortricid Leafroller Moths) are Appleleaf-Curling Moth (about 10%), Lobesia aeolopa (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 Loboschiza koenigiana is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (10 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.
