Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Psilogramma discistriga sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 648th 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.
January, March and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Psilogramma discistriga in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in February, April–September and November–December, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain a month against 280 mm in June.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Psilogramma discistriga sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Psilogramma discistriga sightings, Hong Kong ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Manila (Philippines, about 10%), Guangzhou (China, under 5%) and Tuen Mun (China, under 5%).
Same family: Sphingidae
The closest relatives of the Psilogramma discistriga that you can see in Hong Kong (family Sphingidae, Sphinx Moths) are Dull Swirled Hawkmoth (about 10%), Fritz's Hummingbird Hawkmoth (about 10%) and Greater Death's Head Hawkmoth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Psilogramma discistriga is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (12 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.
