Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lymantria sinica sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 422nd 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.
April and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lymantria sinica in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in May–August and October–March, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lymantria sinica sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Taipei, in our data
Taipei is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Lymantria sinica sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Lymantria
The closest relatives of the Lymantria sinica that you can see in Taipei (genus Lymantria) are Lymantria xylina (about 10%), Pink Lymantria Moth (about 10%) and Lymantria serva (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lymantria sinica 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.
