Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Sphex diabolicus sighting in Kaohsiung on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 182nd most-seen of the 218 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sphex diabolicus in Kaohsiung on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, the lowest months. Those are among Kaohsiung's wettest months, with about 300 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in February.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sphex diabolicus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Sphex diabolicus sightings, Kaohsiung ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 10%) and Taipei (Taiwan, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sphex diabolicus is recorded against all the insects logged in Kaohsiung (6 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.
