Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Miltochrista acteola 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Miltochrista acteola in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Miltochrista acteola sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Hong Kong, in our data
Hong Kong is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Miltochrista acteola sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Miltochrista acteola 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 Miltochrista acteola 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.
