Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nerthus taivanicus sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 602nd 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nerthus taivanicus in Taipei on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Nerthus taivanicus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Nerthus taivanicus sightings, Taipei ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Nanjing (China, about 10%) and Beijing (China, under 5%).
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Nerthus taivanicus that you can see in Taipei (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Lychee Stink Bug (about 30%), Yellow-Spotted Stink Bug (about 30%) and Cryptotympana takasagona (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nerthus taivanicus is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (8 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.
