With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lebeda nobilis sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 82 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 160th 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lebeda nobilis in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in September to February, the lowest months.
Only Taipei, in our data
Taipei is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Lebeda nobilis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lebeda nobilis is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (82 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.
