With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Levant Hawkmoth sighting in Tashkent on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 19th most-seen of the 29 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Levant Hawkmoth in Tashkent on a given day, against under 5% in June and October–April, the lowest months. That is one of Tashkent's driest months, with almost no rain against 60 mm in March.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Levant Hawkmoth 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.
4th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Levant Hawkmoth sightings, Tashkent ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Amman (Jordan, about 40%), Jerusalem (Israel, about 20%) and Izmir (Turkey, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Levant Hawkmoth is recorded against all the insects logged in Tashkent (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.
