Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cosmiomorpha similis 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.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cosmiomorpha similis in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Taipei's wettest months, with about 270 mm of rain against 90 mm in February.
Only Taipei, in our data
Taipei is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cosmiomorpha similis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Scarabaeidae
The closest relatives of the Cosmiomorpha similis that you can see in Taipei (family Scarabaeidae, Scarabs) are Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle (about 20%), Taiwanese Spurred Flower Beetle (about 10%) and Protaetia culta (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cosmiomorpha similis 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.
