Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Oriental Fruit-Piercing Moth sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 368th most-seen of the 1013 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.
November and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oriental Fruit-Piercing Moth in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in January to October, the lowest months.
4th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Oriental Fruit-Piercing Moth sightings, Tokyo ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 20%), Osaka (Japan, about 10%) and Shanghai (China, under 5%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Oriental Fruit-Piercing Moth 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 Oriental Fruit-Piercing Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (27 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.
