Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Amblychia angeronaria sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 542nd most-seen of the 765 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Amblychia angeronaria in Taipei on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Taipei, in our data
Taipei is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Amblychia angeronaria sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Geometridae
The closest relatives of the Amblychia angeronaria that you can see in Taipei (family Geometridae, Geometer Moths) are Milionia basalis (about 20%), Eumelea ludovicata (about 10%) and Asian Cross-Lined Wave Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Amblychia angeronaria is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (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.
