Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Krananda latimarginaria sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 408th 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.
March and December–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Krananda latimarginaria in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in February and April–November, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Krananda latimarginaria sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
9th of 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Krananda latimarginaria sightings, Taipei ranks 9th at under 5%. The best odds are in Suzhou (China, about 10%), Nagoya (Japan, about 10%) and Nanjing (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Krananda latimarginaria is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (17 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.
