Amegilla calceifera
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~30%
Amegilla calceifera is a species of anthophorine bee in the family Apidae. It is found in southern and temperate Asia. Adult bees are pollinators of Alpinia nieuwenhuizii flowers. Amegilla calceifera is known for its rapid and agile flight, allowing it to hover near flowers while foraging for nectar and pollen. Unlike social honey bees, Amegilla calceifera is generally solitary, and females usually build nests in the ground. They construct cells for their offspring and provision them with pollen and nectar. A study conducted West Bengal, India documented its activity in various crop environments, highlighting its importance in agriculture. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-Footed Blue Banded Bee sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 314th 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.
May and November–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-Footed Blue Banded Bee in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in January–April and June–October, the lowest months.
Only Taipei, in our data
Taipei is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate White-Footed Blue Banded Bee sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-Footed Blue Banded Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (26 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.
