Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hyposidra infixaria sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 650th 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.
January and February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hyposidra infixaria in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in March to December, the lowest months. Those are among Taipei's driest months, with about 90 mm of rain a month against 270 mm in June.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Hyposidra infixaria sightings, Taipei ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 10%) and Hong Kong (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hyposidra infixaria is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (6 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.
