Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ischyja manlia sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 570th 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.
May
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ischyja manlia in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months. That is one of Taipei's wettest months, with about 230 mm of rain against 90 mm in February.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ischyja manlia sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Ischyja manlia sightings, Taipei ranks 4th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Hong Kong (China, under 5%), Bengaluru (India, under 5%) and Guangzhou (China, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ischyja manlia is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (8 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.
