Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Bushbrown sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 408th 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.
May and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Bushbrown in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in June–October and December–April, the lowest months.
6th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Chinese Bushbrown sightings, Taipei ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 10%), Shanghai (China, about 10%) and Tokyo (Japan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chinese Bushbrown is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (22 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.
