With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Shiny-Spotted Bob sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 70 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 165th 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.
September
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Shiny-Spotted Bob in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in October and December–March, the lowest months. That is one of Taipei's wettest months, with about 240 mm of rain against 90 mm in February.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Shiny-Spotted Bob 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 Shiny-Spotted Bob sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Hesperiidae
The closest relatives of the Shiny-Spotted Bob 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 Shiny-Spotted Bob is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (70 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.
