Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Golden Flangetail 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.
May and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Golden Flangetail in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months. Those are among Taipei's wettest months, with about 250 mm of rain a month against 90 mm in February.
7th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Golden Flangetail sightings, Taipei ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Nagoya (Japan, about 10%), Beijing (China, about 10%) and Nanjing (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Golden Flangetail 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.
