With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Silver Forget-Me-Not sighting in Kaohsiung on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 144th 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.
March, October and December–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Silver Forget-Me-Not in Kaohsiung on a given day, against under 5% in February, April–September and November, the lowest months. Those are among Kaohsiung's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain a month against 440 mm in August.
Between 4 and 7 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Silver Forget-Me-Not sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Silver Forget-Me-Not sightings, Kaohsiung ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Singapore (Singapore, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Silver Forget-Me-Not is recorded against all the insects logged in Kaohsiung (9 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.
