With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cypoides chinensis sighting in Nanjing on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 242nd 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Cypoides chinensis in Nanjing on a given day, against under 5% in May–July and October–March, the lowest months. That is one of Nanjing's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain against 40 mm in December.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Cypoides chinensis sightings, Nanjing has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Taipei (Taiwan, under 5%).
Same family: Sphingidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cypoides chinensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Nanjing (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.
