Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Masson Pine Moth sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 542nd 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.
February
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Masson Pine Moth in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in March to January, the lowest months. That is one of Taipei's driest months, with about 90 mm of rain against 270 mm in June.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Masson Pine Moth sightings, Taipei ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Hong Kong (China, under 5%).
Same family: Lasiocampidae
The closest relatives of the Masson Pine Moth that you can see in Taipei (family Lasiocampidae, Lappet Moths) are Rose Myrtle Lappet Moth (about 30%) and Lebeda nobilis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Masson Pine Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (9 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.
