Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nola lucidalis sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 407th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and June–August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nola lucidalis in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in April–May and September–February, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in December.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nola lucidalis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Nola lucidalis sightings, Hong Kong has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Bengaluru (India, under 5%).
Same genus: Nola
The closest relatives of the Nola lucidalis that you can see in Hong Kong (genus Nola) are Nola pascua (about 10%) and Nola ceylonica (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nola lucidalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (22 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.
