With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oriental Flower Beetle sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 36 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 261st 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June–July and September–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oriental Flower Beetle in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in August and December–May, the lowest months.
25th of 27
Of the 27 cities where we can rate Oriental Flower Beetle sightings, Taipei ranks 25th at about 10%. The best odds are in Quanzhou (China, about 40%), Nanchang (China, about 30%) and Shanghai (China, about 20%).
Same genus: Protaetia
The closest relatives of the Oriental Flower Beetle that you can see in Taipei (genus Protaetia) are 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 Oriental Flower Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (36 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.
