With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Large Faun sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 90 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 138th 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.
April
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Large Faun in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in August and December–February, the lowest months.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Large Faun sightings, Taipei ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Hong Kong (China, about 20%), Tuen Mun (China, about 10%) and Guangzhou (China, about 10%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Large Faun that you can see in Taipei (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Common Mapwing (about 20%), Common Palmfly (about 20%) and Great Eggfly (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Large Faun is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (90 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.
