Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Schistophleps bipuncta sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 650th 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 Schistophleps bipuncta in Taipei on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Schistophleps bipuncta sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Schistophleps bipuncta is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (6 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.
