With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Raphia hybris sighting in Porto on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 242nd most-seen of the 498 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.
April and July–August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Raphia hybris in Porto on a given day, against under 5% in May–June and September–March, the lowest months. Those are among Porto's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain a month against 140 mm in January.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Raphia hybris sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Porto, in our data
Porto is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Raphia hybris sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Noctuidae
The closest relatives of the Raphia hybris that you can see in Porto (family Noctuidae, Cutworm Moths and Allies) are Variegated Cutworm Moth (about 20%), Armyworm Moth (about 20%) and Scarce Merveille Du Jour (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Raphia hybris is recorded against all the insects logged in Porto (19 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.
