Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Greenish Silk-Moth sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 657th 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.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Greenish Silk-Moth in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Greenish Silk-Moth sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
14th of 14
Of the 14 cities where we can rate Greenish Silk-Moth sightings, Singapore ranks 14th at under 5%. The best odds are in Chennai (India, about 10%), Hyderabad (India, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Greenish Silk-Moth that you can see in Singapore (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Brown Pansy (about 40%), Hübner's Wasp Moth (about 30%) and Common Mormon Swallowtail (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Greenish Silk-Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (13 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.
