Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Chrysaeglia magnifica sighting in Taroko National Park on a given day, based on 165 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 6th most-seen of the 447 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and May
In those months about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Chrysaeglia magnifica in Taroko National Park on a given day, against under 5% in November, the lowest month.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chrysaeglia magnifica sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Taroko National Park, in our data
Taroko National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Chrysaeglia magnifica sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chrysaeglia magnifica is recorded against all the insects logged in Taroko National Park (165 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.
