With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Himalayan Jester sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 96 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 117th most-seen of the 765 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–August and November–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Himalayan Jester in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in January and September–October, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Himalayan Jester sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Himalayan Jester sightings, Taipei ranks 6th at about 10%. The best odds are in Dehradun (India, about 20%), Hong Kong (China, about 20%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Himalayan Jester is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (96 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.
