Rhimphaliodes macrostigma
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Rhimphaliodes is a monotypic moth genus of the family Crambidae described by George Hampson in 1893. Its only species, Rhimphaliodes macrostigma, described by the same author in the same year, is found in Sri Lanka, on Borneo and in Australia, where it has been recorded from Queensland.
Adults are ochreous white, the forewings with some brown at the base and an antemedial brown line, a brown spot in the middle of the cell and a large black stigma filling the end of the cell, with a minute white spot on its upper edge. There is also a waved postmedial line and the outer margin is broadly brown, especially at the apex and outer angle. The hindwings have medial and postmedial indistinct waved lines. The outer margin is suffused with fuscous, most broadly at the apex and the anal angle. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rhimphaliodes macrostigma sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 576th 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 Rhimphaliodes macrostigma in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rhimphaliodes macrostigma sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Rhimphaliodes macrostigma sightings, Singapore ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Hong Kong (China, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rhimphaliodes macrostigma is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (21 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.
