Acrothinium gaschkevitchii is a species of leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is distributed in East Asia. The species is named after the wife of Russian diplomat Iosif Goshkevich. She had sent Motschulsky a collection of insects from Japan, including specimens of Acrothinium gaschkevitchii, that she had collected in the vicinity of her residence at Hakodate and during her trips between Honshu and Hokkaido.
A. gaschkevitchii has a shiny metallic appearance, and its back is sparsely covered with setae. In the nominate subspecies, A. g. gaschkevitchii, the pronotum is green in color, and the elytra are golden red to copper-color with green at their margins. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Acrothinium gaschkevitchii sighting in Taroko National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 315th most-seen of the 447 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Acrothinium gaschkevitchii is recorded against all the insects logged in Taroko National Park (6 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.
