Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Flower Ant sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 12 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Flower Ant in Taipei on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Flower Ant sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
12th of 15
Of the 15 cities where we can rate Flower Ant sightings, Taipei ranks 12th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kochi (India, about 10%), Fortaleza (Brazil, about 10%) and Zhuhai [Macau] (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Flower Ant is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (12 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.
