Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Variable Wisp sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 422nd 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.
April and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Variable Wisp in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in May–August and October–March, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Variable Wisp sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
14th of 14
Of the 14 cities where we can rate Variable Wisp sightings, Taipei ranks 14th at under 5%. The best odds are in Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 30%), Davao City (Philippines, about 30%) and Kuching (Malaysia, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Variable Wisp is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (16 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.
