Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Oxacme cretacea sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 7 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.
January
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oxacme cretacea in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in February to December, the lowest months. That is one of Taipei's driest months, with about 95 mm of rain against 270 mm in June.
Only Taipei, in our data
Taipei is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Oxacme cretacea sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Oxacme cretacea that you can see in Taipei (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Asota heliconia (about 20%), Chrysaeglia magnifica (about 20%) and Banyan Tussock Moth (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oxacme cretacea is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (7 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.
