With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-Striped Semilooper sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 81 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 174th most-seen of the 1013 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and August–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-Striped Semilooper in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and December–April, the lowest months.
Between 10 pm and 1 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brown-Striped Semilooper sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
11th of 17
Of the 17 cities where we can rate Brown-Striped Semilooper sightings, Tokyo ranks 11th at about 10%. The best odds are in Kozhikode (India, about 20%), Ponnani (India, about 20%) and Kochi (India, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Brown-Striped Semilooper that you can see in Tokyo (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Japanese Nine-Spotted Moth (about 10%), Ramie Moth (about 10%) and Geometrical Lines (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown-Striped Semilooper is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (81 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.
