Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Theretra tibetiana sighting in Shanghai on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 166th most-seen of the 215 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Theretra tibetiana in Shanghai on a given day, against under 5% in October to July, the lowest months. Those are among Shanghai's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain a month against 55 mm in December.
Only Shanghai, in our data
Shanghai is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Theretra tibetiana sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Theretra
The closest relatives of the Theretra tibetiana that you can see in Shanghai (genus Theretra, Hunter Hawkmoths) are White-Banded Hunter Hawkmoth (about 10%) and Theretra japonica (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Theretra tibetiana is recorded against all the insects logged in Shanghai (7 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.
