With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Macronota shangaicus sighting in Kaohsiung on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 100th 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Macronota shangaicus in Kaohsiung on a given day, against under 5% in August to March, the lowest months. That is one of Kaohsiung's wettest months, with about 300 mm of rain against 25 mm in February.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Macronota shangaicus is recorded against all the insects logged in Kaohsiung (15 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.
