Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Wasp-Moth sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 602nd 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.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Wasp-Moth in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Wasp-Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Common Wasp-Moth sightings, Singapore ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kolkata (India, about 10%), Bengaluru (India, about 10%) and Hong Kong (China, under 5%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Common Wasp-Moth that you can see in Singapore (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Hübner's Wasp Moth (about 30%), Triangular-Striped Moth (about 10%) and Erebus ephesperis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Wasp-Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (17 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.
