With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Calliteara horishanella sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 36 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 254th most-seen of the 765 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and December–May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Calliteara horishanella in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in June and August–November, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Calliteara horishanella sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Taipei, in our data
Taipei is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Calliteara horishanella sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Calliteara horishanella that you can see in Taipei (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Asota heliconia (about 20%), Chrysaeglia magnifica (about 20%) and Banyan Tussock Moth (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Calliteara horishanella is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (36 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.
