Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Metochus abbreviatus sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 455th 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.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Metochus abbreviatus in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Taipei's wettest months, with about 270 mm of rain against 90 mm in February.
10th of 10
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Metochus abbreviatus sightings, Taipei ranks 10th at under 5%. The best odds are in Hangzhou (China, about 20%), Nanjing (China, about 10%) and Nagoya (Japan, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Metochus abbreviatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (14 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.
