With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Himalayan Jester sighting in Taichung on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 172nd 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.
February, June–July and September–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Himalayan Jester in Taichung on a given day, against under 5% in March–May, August and November–January, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Himalayan Jester 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 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Himalayan Jester sightings, Taichung ranks 8th at about 10%. The best odds are in Dehradun (India, about 20%), Hong Kong (China, about 20%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 20%).
Same family: Nymphalidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Himalayan Jester is recorded against all the insects logged in Taichung (5 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.
