With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Histia flabellicornis sighting in Shanghai on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 69th most-seen of the 215 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.
August
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Histia flabellicornis in Shanghai on a given day, against under 5% in May and October–March, the lowest months. That is one of Shanghai's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain against 55 mm in December.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Histia flabellicornis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 11
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Histia flabellicornis sightings, Shanghai ranks 6th at about 10%. The best odds are in Naha (Japan, about 20%), Taipei (Taiwan, about 20%) and Suzhou (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Histia flabellicornis is recorded against all the insects logged in Shanghai (22 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.
