With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Maile Pilau Hornworm sighting in Shanghai on a given day, based on 21 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.
November
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Maile Pilau Hornworm in Shanghai on a given day, against under 5% in January to June, the lowest months.
7th of 15
Of the 15 cities where we can rate Maile Pilau Hornworm sightings, Shanghai ranks 7th at about 10%. The best odds are in Changzhou (China, about 30%), Busan (South Korea, about 20%) and Tokyo (Japan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Maile Pilau Hornworm is recorded against all the insects logged in Shanghai (21 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.
