Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Punchinello sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 543 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 17th most-seen of the 1125 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Punchinello in Hong Kong on a given day, against about 10% in June and August, the lowest months. That is one of Hong Kong's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 280 mm in June.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Punchinello sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Punchinello sightings, Hong Kong ranks 3rd at about 20%. The best odds are in Guwahati (India, about 30%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 30%).
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Punchinello that you can see in Hong Kong (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Red-Based Jezebel (about 40%), Common Mormon Swallowtail (about 30%) and Ceylon Blue Glassy Tiger (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Punchinello is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (543 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.
