With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sceliphron deforme sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 40 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 237th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sceliphron deforme in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, the lowest months. Those are among Taipei's wettest months, with about 230 mm of rain a month against 90 mm in February.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sceliphron deforme 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 5 cities where we can rate Sceliphron deforme sightings, Taipei ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Hong Kong (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sceliphron deforme is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (40 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.
