With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Seseria formosana sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 110 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 112th most-seen of the 765 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Seseria formosana in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in January–February and May, the lowest months. That is one of Taipei's wettest months, with about 260 mm of rain against 90 mm in February.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Seseria formosana sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 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 Seseria formosana sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Hesperiidae
The closest relatives of the Seseria formosana that you can see in Taipei (family Hesperiidae, Skippers) are Restricted Demon (about 10%), Indian Palm Bob (about 10%) and Dark Palm-Dart (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Seseria formosana is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (110 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.
