Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Telostylinus lineolatus sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 374th 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, June–August and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Telostylinus lineolatus in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in May, September and November–March, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in December.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Telostylinus lineolatus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
12th of 14
Of the 14 cities where we can rate Telostylinus lineolatus sightings, Hong Kong ranks 12th at under 5%. The best odds are in Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 20%), Davao City (Philippines, about 20%) and Denpasar (Indonesia, about 20%).
Same order: Diptera
The closest relatives of the Telostylinus lineolatus that you can see in Hong Kong (order Diptera, Flies) are Ptecticus aurifer (about 10%), Yellow-Shouldered Hover Fly (about 10%) and Microstylum dux (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Telostylinus lineolatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (24 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.
