Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pseudodavara haemaphoralis sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 731st 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.
October and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pseudodavara haemaphoralis in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in December to September, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain a month against 280 mm in June.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pseudodavara haemaphoralis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Pseudodavara haemaphoralis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Pyralidae
The closest relatives of the Pseudodavara haemaphoralis that you can see in Hong Kong (family Pyralidae, Pyralid Snout Moths) are Guastica semilutea (about 10%), Nephopterix ochribasalis (about 10%) and Copamyntis leptocosma (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pseudodavara haemaphoralis is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (10 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.
