With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Ladybird Beetle sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 96 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 133rd most-seen of the 765 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November to June

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow Ladybird Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Taipei (96 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.
