With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-Marmorated Longicorn Beetle sighting in Taichung on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 155th 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.
April to June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-Marmorated Longicorn Beetle in Taichung on a given day, against under 5% in July to March, the lowest months. Those are among Taichung's wettest months, with about 230 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in December.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brown-Marmorated Longicorn Beetle 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 Brown-Marmorated Longicorn Beetle sightings, Taichung has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Taipei (Taiwan, under 5%).
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Brown-Marmorated Longicorn Beetle that you can see in Taichung (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Dicelosternus corallinus (about 10%), White-Spotted Longicorn Beetle (about 10%) and Apriona rugicollis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brown-Marmorated Longicorn Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Taichung (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.
