With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rimmed Window Firefly sighting in Taichung on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. 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.
June and August
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Rimmed Window Firefly in Taichung on a given day, against under 5% in May and September–February, the lowest months. Those are among Taichung's wettest months, with about 320 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in December.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rimmed Window Firefly 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.
