Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Macronota shangaicus sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 314th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May to July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Macronota shangaicus in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in August to April, the lowest months.
5th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Macronota shangaicus sightings, Taipei ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Taichung (Taiwan, about 10%), Fuzhou (China, about 10%) and Kaohsiung (Taiwan, about 10%).
Same family: Scarabaeidae
The closest relatives of the Macronota shangaicus that you can see in Taipei (family Scarabaeidae, Scarabs) are Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle (about 20%), Taiwanese Spurred Flower Beetle (about 10%) and Protaetia culta (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Macronota shangaicus is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (25 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.
