With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hyblaea firmamentum sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 39 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 249th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–April and June–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hyblaea firmamentum in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in May and November–February, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hyblaea firmamentum is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (39 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.
