With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Euplocia membliaria sighting in Manila on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 65th most-seen of the 122 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and September
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Euplocia membliaria in Manila on a given day, against under 5% in November to June, the lowest months.
Between 5 and 8 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Euplocia membliaria sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Euplocia membliaria sightings, Manila has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Hong Kong (China, under 5%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Euplocia membliaria that you can see in Manila (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Asota heliconia (about 20%), Tropical Tiger Moth (about 10%) and Hübner's Wasp Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Euplocia membliaria is recorded against all the insects logged in Manila (11 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.
