Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Luprops horni sighting in Taroko National Park on a given day, based on 42 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 59th most-seen of the 447 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.

In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Luprops horni in Taroko National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June, August–September and November–January, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Luprops horni 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 Luprops horni sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Tenebrionidae
The closest relatives of the Luprops horni that you can see in Taroko National Park (family Tenebrionidae, Darkling Beetles) are Lagria formosensis (about 20%), Lagria scutellaris (about 10%) and Xenocerogria ruficollis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Luprops horni is recorded against all the insects logged in Taroko National Park (42 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.
