With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Semi-Hyaline Zygaenid Moth sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 73 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 162nd most-seen of the 1125 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January, March–July and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Semi-Hyaline Zygaenid Moth in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in February, August–September and December, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Semi-Hyaline Zygaenid Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (73 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.
