Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Leptocoris vicinus sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 242 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 43rd most-seen of the 765 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January to May
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Leptocoris vicinus in Taipei on a given day, against about 10% in June to December, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Leptocoris vicinus sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Leptocoris vicinus sightings, Taipei ranks 3rd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Taichung (Taiwan, about 20%) and Tainan (Taiwan, about 20%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Leptocoris vicinus that you can see in Taipei (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Lychee Stink Bug (about 30%), Yellow-Spotted Stink Bug (about 30%) and Cryptotympana takasagona (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Leptocoris vicinus is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (242 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.
