Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Red Sprite sighting in Taichung on a given day, based on 60 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 39th most-seen of the 197 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.
January
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Red Sprite in Taichung on a given day, against under 5% in May, the lowest month. That is one of Taichung's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain against 330 mm in August.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red Sprite sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Red Sprite sightings, Taichung has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Taipei (Taiwan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red Sprite is recorded against all the insects logged in Taichung (60 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.
