With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nacoleia charesalis sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 35 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 294th most-seen of the 1125 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nacoleia charesalis in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in June to March, the lowest months.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Nacoleia charesalis sightings, Hong Kong has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Miami (United States, under 5%) and Houston (United States, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nacoleia charesalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (35 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.
