Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Taiwan Yellow Tussock Moth sighting in Naha on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 46th most-seen of the 94 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Taiwan Yellow Tussock Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Naha (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.
