Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Potamiaena aurifera sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 520th 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.
March and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Potamiaena aurifera in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in April–October and December–February, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Potamiaena aurifera sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Potamiaena aurifera sightings, Taipei ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Hong Kong (China, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Potamiaena aurifera is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (10 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.
