With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Odontolabis siva sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 78 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 155th most-seen of the 765 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Odontolabis siva in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in November to May, the lowest months. That is one of Taipei's wettest months, with about 260 mm of rain against 90 mm in February.
Between 4 and 7 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Odontolabis siva sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 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 Odontolabis siva sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Lucanidae
The closest relatives of the Odontolabis siva that you can see in Taipei (family Lucanidae, Stag Beetles) are Titan Stag Beetle (about 30%), Neolucanus swinhoei (about 10%) and Figulus binodulus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Odontolabis siva is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (78 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.
