Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Xylorhiza pilosipennis sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 555th 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.
June and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Xylorhiza pilosipennis in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in July–August and October–May, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 220 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 Xylorhiza pilosipennis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Xylorhiza pilosipennis that you can see in Hong Kong (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Mango Longhorn Beetle (about 10%), Citrus Longhorn Beetle (about 10%) and Kapok Longhorned Borer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Xylorhiza pilosipennis is recorded against all the insects logged in Hong Kong (17 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.
