With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Amata formosae sighting in Nanjing on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 188th most-seen of the 272 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.
June–July, September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Amata formosae in Nanjing on a given day, against under 5% in August, October and December–May, the lowest months. Those are among Nanjing's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in December.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Amata formosae sightings, Nanjing ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Shanghai (China, about 10%).
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Amata formosae that you can see in Nanjing (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Common Bluebottle (about 30%), Pieris latouchei (about 30%) and Chinese Yellow Swallowtail (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Amata formosae is recorded against all the insects logged in Nanjing (7 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.
