In 3 days ~10% in a week ~30%
Thisizima subceratella is a moth of the family Tineidae. It is found in China (Fujian, Hainan, Hong Kong). The wingspan is 18.5−20.5 for males. The forewing ground color is creamy white, with scattered dark brown scales on the distal ¼. There is a triangular black patch on the basal 1/5 and a broad black costal blotch narrowly confluent with the basal patch on the anterior margin, curved in a W shape on the posterior margin, its basal half apically rounded and
reaching half width and the distal half triangularly crossing the midwing. There are two small indistinct spots along the costa before the apex. The termen and dorsum are scattered with faint dark brown dots. The fringe is light yellowish brown. The hindwings are cupreous brown and the fringe is grayish brown. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Thisizima subceratella sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 386th 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.
May and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Thisizima subceratella in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and October–April, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 200 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in December.
Only Hong Kong, in our data
Hong Kong is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Thisizima subceratella sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Thisizima subceratella is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (23 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.
