Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pylargosceles steganioides sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 583rd 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.
February–March and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pylargosceles steganioides in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in April–July and September–January, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Pylargosceles steganioides sightings, Hong Kong ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tokyo (Japan, under 5%).
Same family: Geometridae
The closest relatives of the Pylargosceles steganioides that you can see in Hong Kong (family Geometridae, Geometer Moths) are False Tiger Moth (about 30%), Milionia basalis (about 10%) and Orange Magpie Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pylargosceles steganioides is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (14 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.
