Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Negeta contrariata sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 583rd 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.
March and September–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Negeta contrariata in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in April–August and November–February, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Negeta contrariata sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Hong Kong, in our data
Hong Kong is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Negeta contrariata sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nolidae
The closest relatives of the Negeta contrariata that you can see in Hong Kong (family Nolidae, Tufted Moths) are Meganola brunellus (about 10%), Melanographia flexilineata (about 10%) and Nola pascua (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Negeta contrariata is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (14 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.
