Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Choreutis ophiosema sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 650th 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.
November
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Choreutis ophiosema in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in December to October, the lowest months.
4th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Choreutis ophiosema sightings, Taipei ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kaohsiung (Taiwan, about 10%), Perth (Australia, about 10%) and Brisbane (Australia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Choreutis ophiosema is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (6 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.
