Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cinnamon Gliding Hawkmoth sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 735th most-seen of the 1045 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cinnamon Gliding Hawkmoth in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cinnamon Gliding Hawkmoth sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Singapore, in our data
Singapore is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cinnamon Gliding Hawkmoth sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cinnamon Gliding Hawkmoth is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (10 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.
