Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Madagascan Striped Swordtail sighting in Ankarafantsika National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 21st most-seen of the 31 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.
November
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Madagascan Striped Swordtail in Ankarafantsika National Park on a given day, against under 5% in September–October and December, the lowest months. February and March have too few records to rate.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Madagascan Striped Swordtail sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Ankarafantsika National Park, in our data
Ankarafantsika National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Madagascan Striped Swordtail sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Madagascan Striped Swordtail is recorded against all the insects logged in Ankarafantsika 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.
