Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Chrysaeglia magnifica sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 461 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 12th most-seen of the 765 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–April and June
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Chrysaeglia magnifica in Taipei on a given day, against about 10% in August to December, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chrysaeglia magnifica sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 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 Chrysaeglia magnifica sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Chrysaeglia magnifica that you can see in Taipei (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Asota heliconia (about 20%), Banyan Tussock Moth (about 20%) and Cocoa Tussock Moth (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chrysaeglia magnifica is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (461 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.
