In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Pycnarmon radiata is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by William Warren in 1896. It is found in China and India. The wingspan is 28 mm. The forewings are white, with a faint ochreous tinge and a minute black dot at the base of the costa, a black spot on the median near the base and another on the inner margin further from the base. There is also a black spot on the costa at one third, from which the first line runs vertical to the inner margin. There is a small black dot in the cell and a large black spot at the end, a black streak runs from below the small dot to the inner margin before the anal angle, another from below the discal spot to the hind margin above the anal angle. There is a row of black marginal spots increasing in size as they approach the anal angle. There is a thick black outer line from the costa beyond two thirds. The hindwings have a large black discal spot, with a smaller one nearer the base, and a black postmedian line forming two large curves, one round the cell, the other below it, to a black spot on the inner margin.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pycnarmon radiata sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1005th 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.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pycnarmon radiata in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months.
Only Hong Kong, in our data
Hong Kong is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pycnarmon radiata sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Pycnarmon radiata that you can see in Hong Kong (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth (about 10%), Heortia vitessoides (about 10%) and Camptomastix hisbonalis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pycnarmon radiata is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (5 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.
