With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Theretra japonica sighting in Wuhan on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 50th most-seen of the 62 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Theretra japonica in Wuhan on a given day, against under 5% in October to June, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Theretra japonica sightings, Wuhan ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 10%) and Seoul (South Korea, about 10%).
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Theretra japonica that you can see in Wuhan (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Small White (about 30%), Common Bluebottle (about 30%) and Pale Grass Blue (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Theretra japonica is recorded against all the insects logged in Wuhan (5 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.
