Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Triangular-Striped Moth sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 467th 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.
February–March and October–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Triangular-Striped Moth in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in January and April–September, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain a month against 280 mm in June.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Triangular-Striped Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
4th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Triangular-Striped Moth sightings, Hong Kong ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Singapore (Singapore, about 10%), Tuen Mun (China, about 10%) and Chennai (India, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Triangular-Striped Moth 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 Triangular-Striped Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (19 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.
