With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Amata persimilis sighting in Taichung on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 144th most-seen of the 197 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 an Amata persimilis in Taichung on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, May, July–August and October–November, the lowest months. That is one of Taichung's wettest months, with about 310 mm of rain against 40 mm in December.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Amata persimilis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Amata persimilis sightings, Taichung has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Taipei (Taiwan, about 10%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Amata persimilis that you can see in Taichung (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Cocoa Tussock Moth (about 20%), Brown Tussock Moth (about 10%) and Taiwan Yellow Tussock Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Amata persimilis is recorded against all the insects logged in Taichung (7 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.
