Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Fascellina chromataria sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 376th 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.
January–March and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Fascellina chromataria in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in April–October and December, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Fascellina chromataria sightings, Taipei ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Hong Kong (China, under 5%).
Same family: Geometridae
The closest relatives of the Fascellina chromataria that you can see in Taipei (family Geometridae, Geometer Moths) are Milionia basalis (about 20%), Eumelea ludovicata (about 10%) and Asian Cross-Lined Wave Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fascellina chromataria is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (19 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.
