With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red Sprite sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 76 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 180th most-seen of the 765 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–February, April–September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red Sprite in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in March, October and December, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red Sprite sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Red Sprite sightings, Taipei ranks 2nd at about 10%. The best odds are in Taichung (Taiwan, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red Sprite is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (76 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.
