Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-Underwing Artena sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 583rd 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.
August to October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-Underwing Artena in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in November to July, the lowest months.
Between midnight and 3 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-Underwing Artena 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.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate White-Underwing Artena sightings, Hong Kong ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Pune (India, about 10%), Mumbai (India, under 5%) and Chennai (India, under 5%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the White-Underwing Artena 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 White-Underwing Artena is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (14 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.
