Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Carea varipes sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 602nd 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.
February
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Carea varipes in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in March to January, the lowest months. That is one of Taipei's driest months, with about 90 mm of rain against 270 mm in June.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Carea varipes sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Carea varipes sightings, Taipei ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Hong Kong (China, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Carea varipes is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (7 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.
