Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Progonia oileusalis sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 12 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Progonia oileusalis in Taipei on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
3rd of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Progonia oileusalis sightings, Taipei ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 10%) and Hong Kong (China, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Progonia oileusalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (12 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.
