With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-Spotted Longicorn Beetle sighting in Taichung on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 97th most-seen of the 197 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a White-Spotted Longicorn Beetle in Taichung on a given day, against under 5% in October to March, the lowest months. That is one of Taichung's wettest months, with about 310 mm of rain against 40 mm in December.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-Spotted Longicorn Beetle sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate White-Spotted Longicorn Beetle sightings, Taichung ranks 2nd at about 10%. The best odds are in Naha (Japan, about 20%).
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the White-Spotted Longicorn Beetle that you can see in Taichung (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Dicelosternus corallinus (about 10%), Apriona rugicollis (about 10%) and Yellow-Spotted Longicorn Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-Spotted Longicorn Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Taichung (11 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.
