Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Andraca theae 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 Andraca theae 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 Andraca theae sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Andraca theae that you can see in Taipei (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Rose Myrtle Lappet Moth (about 30%), Common Mapwing (about 20%) and Great Mormon Swallowtail (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Andraca theae 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.
