Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Talanga sexpunctalis sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 429th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–May and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Talanga sexpunctalis in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in January–March and June–November, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Talanga sexpunctalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (22 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.
