Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Syritta orientalis sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 613th 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, October and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Syritta orientalis in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, April–September and November, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain a month against 280 mm in June.
Only Hong Kong, in our data
Hong Kong is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Syritta orientalis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Syritta orientalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (13 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.
