Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pingasa ruginaria sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 376th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–February and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pingasa ruginaria in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in March–September and December, the lowest months.
2nd of 3

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pingasa ruginaria is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (19 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.
