Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Oriental Banner sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 819th 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.
November
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oriental Banner in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in December to October, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain against 280 mm in June.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Oriental Banner sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
5th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Oriental Banner sightings, Hong Kong ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Hyderabad (India, about 10%), Chennai (India, under 5%) and Kochi (India, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oriental Banner is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (8 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.
