With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Geometrical Lines sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 75 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 178th 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.
August to October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Geometrical Lines in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in November to July, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Geometrical Lines sightings, Tokyo ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Prayagraj (India, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Geometrical Lines 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 Brown-Striped Semilooper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Geometrical Lines is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (75 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.
