With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pyralis regalis 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.
May, July and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pyralis regalis in Nanjing on a given day, against under 5% in June, August and October–April, the lowest months. Those are among Nanjing's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in December.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pyralis regalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Pyralis regalis sightings, Nanjing has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Prague (Czechia, under 5%) and Seoul (South Korea, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pyralis regalis 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.
