Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Spilarctia subcarnea sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 602nd 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 Spilarctia subcarnea in Taipei on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Spilarctia subcarnea sightings, Taipei ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 10%), Shanghai (China, under 5%) and Hong Kong (China, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Spilarctia subcarnea is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (7 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.
