5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Sphex sericeus sightings, Taipei ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Hong Kong (China, about 10%), Singapore (Singapore, about 10%) and Chennai (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sphex sericeus is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (11 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.
