With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Broadwinged Katydid sighting in Taroko National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 379th 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.
May, July, September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Japanese Broadwinged Katydid in Taroko National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June, August, October and December–April, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Japanese Broadwinged Katydid sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Japanese Broadwinged Katydid sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Tettigoniidae
The closest relatives of the Japanese Broadwinged Katydid that you can see in Taroko National Park (family Tettigoniidae, Katydids) are Phaulula macilenta (about 10%), Black-Kneed Meadow Katydid (about 10%) and Baryprostha parva (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Japanese Broadwinged Katydid is recorded against all the insects logged in Taroko National Park (5 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.
