With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Olepa ricini sighting in Manila on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 102nd most-seen of the 122 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Olepa ricini in Manila on a given day, against under 5% in August and October–May, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Olepa ricini sightings, Manila ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tel Aviv (Israel, about 10%) and Kochi (India, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Olepa ricini 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 Olepa ricini is recorded against all the insects logged in Manila (5 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.
