Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rhipidolestes aculeatus sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 570th 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rhipidolestes aculeatus in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rhipidolestes aculeatus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Taipei, in our data
Taipei is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Rhipidolestes aculeatus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Odonata
The closest relatives of the Rhipidolestes aculeatus that you can see in Taipei (order Odonata, Dragonflies and Damselflies) are Neurothemis taiwanensis (about 30%), Crimson-Tailed Marsh Hawk (about 20%) and Blue-Tailed Forest Hawk (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rhipidolestes aculeatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (9 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.
