With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Spotted Longicorn Beetle sighting in Kaohsiung on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 107th 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.
November
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Spotted Longicorn Beetle in Kaohsiung on a given day, against under 5% in December to April, the lowest months. That is one of Kaohsiung's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain against 440 mm in August.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-Spotted Longicorn Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 11
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Yellow-Spotted Longicorn Beetle sightings, Kaohsiung ranks 8th at about 10%. The best odds are in Nanjing (China, about 20%), Nagoya (Japan, about 10%) and Naha (Japan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-Spotted Longicorn Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Kaohsiung (14 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.
