Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Eudocima homaena sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 364th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eudocima homaena in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in March–September and December–January, the lowest months.
Between midnight and 3 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eudocima homaena sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
6th of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Eudocima homaena sightings, Taipei ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Hong Kong (China, about 10%), Chennai (India, about 10%) and Bengaluru (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eudocima homaena is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (21 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.
