Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lilacine Bushbrown sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 16 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, July and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lilacine Bushbrown in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in April–June, August–October and December–February, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lilacine Bushbrown sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Lilacine Bushbrown sightings, Taipei ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Nanjing (China, about 10%), Seoul (South Korea, about 10%) and Beijing (China, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lilacine Bushbrown is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (16 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.
