Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tongeia filicaudis sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 868th 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
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tongeia filicaudis in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tongeia filicaudis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
12th of 12
Of the 12 cities where we can rate Tongeia filicaudis sightings, Hong Kong ranks 12th at under 5%. The best odds are in Zhuhai [Macau] (China, about 20%), Suzhou (China, about 20%) and Beijing (China, about 10%).
Same family: Lycaenidae
The closest relatives of the Tongeia filicaudis that you can see in Hong Kong (family Lycaenidae, Gossamer-winged Butterflies) are Pale Grass Blue (about 20%), Plains Cupid (about 20%) and Abisara echeria (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tongeia filicaudis is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (9 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.
