Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sympis rufibasis sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 708th 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 Sympis rufibasis in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sympis rufibasis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Sympis rufibasis sightings, Singapore ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 10%), Hong Kong (China, about 10%) and Guangzhou (China, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Sympis rufibasis 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 Sympis rufibasis 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.
