Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Thyris usitata sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 50 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 302nd 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Thyris usitata in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in June and August–April, the lowest months.
Only Tokyo, in our data
Tokyo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Thyris usitata sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Thyris usitata that you can see in Tokyo (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Pale Grass Blue (about 30%), Chinese Yellow Swallowtail (about 20%) and Red Ring Skirt (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Thyris usitata is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (50 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.
