Xandrames latiferaria
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~20%
Xandrames latiferaria is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Francis Walker in 1860. It is found in Japan, China, the north-eastern parts of the Himalayas and Sundaland. In genitalia and facies Xandrames cnecozona resembles typical X. latiferaria but is slightly larger and yellower. It is considered a synonym but might merit subspecific status.
The wingspan is 50–60 mm. The larvae feed on Lindera species. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Xandrames latiferaria sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 473rd 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.
January and April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Xandrames latiferaria in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in February–March and May–December, the lowest months.
Only Taipei, in our data
Taipei is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Xandrames latiferaria sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Geometridae
The closest relatives of the Xandrames latiferaria that you can see in Taipei (family Geometridae, Geometer Moths) are Milionia basalis (about 20%), Eumelea ludovicata (about 10%) and Asian Cross-Lined Wave Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Xandrames latiferaria is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (12 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.
