It is the 113th 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Apriona rugicollis in Taichung on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, the lowest months. Those are among Taichung's wettest months, with about 280 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in December.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Apriona rugicollis is recorded against all the insects logged in Taichung (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.
