With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ernolatia moorei sighting in Kaohsiung on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 155th most-seen of the 218 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.
April–July and December

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ernolatia moorei is recorded against all the insects logged in Kaohsiung (8 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.
