Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Poliofoca gebenna sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 960th most-seen of the 1045 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Poliofoca gebenna in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Singapore, in our data
Singapore is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Poliofoca gebenna sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Poliofoca gebenna 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 Poliofoca gebenna is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (5 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.
