Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Plesiophthalmus formosanus 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.

In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Plesiophthalmus formosanus in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in June to April, the lowest months. That is one of Taipei's wettest months, with about 230 mm of rain against 90 mm in February.
Only Taipei, in our data
Taipei is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Plesiophthalmus formosanus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Plesiophthalmus formosanus 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.
