Camptoloma carum is a moth of the family Nolidae. It is endemic to Taiwan and occurs in low to mid-altitude mountains (100–2,150 m (330–7,050 ft) above sea level). The wingspan is 31–40 mm (1.2–1.6 in). Adults are on wing from May at lower altitudes to June–July at higher altitudes. It is likely that the larvae feed on Quercus glauca. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Camptoloma carum sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 650th most-seen of the 765 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.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Camptoloma carum in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months. That is one of Taipei's wettest months, with about 230 mm of rain against 90 mm in February.
Only Taipei, in our data
Taipei is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Camptoloma carum sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Camptoloma carum that you can see in Taipei (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Asota heliconia (about 20%), Chrysaeglia magnifica (about 20%) and Banyan Tussock Moth (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Camptoloma carum is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (6 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.
