Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Locastra muscosalis sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1005th 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.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Locastra muscosalis in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 220 mm of rain against 25 mm in December.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Locastra muscosalis sightings, Hong Kong ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Taipei (Taiwan, under 5%).
Same family: Pyralidae
The closest relatives of the Locastra muscosalis that you can see in Hong Kong (family Pyralidae, Pyralid Snout Moths) are Guastica semilutea (about 10%), Nephopterix ochribasalis (about 10%) and Copamyntis leptocosma (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Locastra muscosalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (5 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.
