With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Taiwan Yellow Tussock Moth sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 210 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 48th most-seen of the 765 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to June
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Taiwan Yellow Tussock Moth in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in August and December, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Taiwan Yellow Tussock Moth sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Taiwan Yellow Tussock Moth sightings, Taipei ranks 2nd at about 10%. The best odds are in Naha (Japan, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Taiwan Yellow Tussock Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (210 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.
