With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Formosan Jewelwing sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 127 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 107th most-seen of the 765 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Formosan Jewelwing in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in January and February, the lowest months. That is one of Taipei's wettest months, with about 240 mm of rain against 90 mm in February.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Formosan Jewelwing sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Taipei, in our data
Taipei is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Formosan Jewelwing sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Formosan Jewelwing is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (127 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.
