About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Taeniotes scalatus sighting in Main Ridge Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 27th most-seen of the 346 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Taeniotes scalatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Main Ridge Forest Reserve (22 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
