With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Teulisna tumida sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 345th 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 and June–July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Teulisna tumida in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in May and August–March, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in December.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Teulisna tumida sightings, Hong Kong has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Taipei (Taiwan, under 5%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Teulisna tumida that you can see in Hong Kong (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Banyan Tussock Moth (about 20%), Orvasca subnotata (about 20%) and Zhejiang Tussock Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Teulisna tumida is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (27 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.
