Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cypoides chinensis sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 473rd 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.
December
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cypoides chinensis in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in January to November, the lowest months.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Cypoides chinensis sightings, Taipei ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Nanjing (China, about 10%).
Same family: Sphingidae
The closest relatives of the Cypoides chinensis that you can see in Taipei (family Sphingidae, Sphinx Moths) are Green Pergesa Hawkmoth (about 10%), Marumba cristata (about 10%) and Yam Hawkmoth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cypoides chinensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (13 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.
