With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Amata sperbius sighting in Tuen Mun on a given day, based on 55 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 88th most-seen of the 557 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Amata sperbius in Tuen Mun on a given day, against under 5% in December to February, the lowest months. That is one of Tuen Mun's wettest months, with about 230 mm of rain against 20 mm in December.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Amata sperbius sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Amata sperbius sightings, Tuen Mun ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Guwahati (India, about 20%), Nanning (China, about 20%) and Hanoi (Vietnam, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Amata sperbius is recorded against all the insects logged in Tuen Mun (55 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.
