With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tonga westwoodi sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 29 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 287th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July–September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tonga westwoodi in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in October and December–June, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tonga westwoodi sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Tonga westwoodi sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Tonga westwoodi that you can see in Taipei (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Lychee Stink Bug (about 30%), Yellow-Spotted Stink Bug (about 30%) and Cryptotympana takasagona (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tonga westwoodi is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (29 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.
