Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Little Skimmer sighting in Antalya on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 8th most-seen of the 26 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.
August and September
In those months about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Little Skimmer in Antalya on a given day, against under 5% in March, May–July and October–December, the lowest months. Those are among Antalya's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 180 mm in January.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Little Skimmer sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Little Skimmer sightings, Antalya has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Mysuru (India, about 10%) and Pune (India, about 10%).
Same genus: Orthetrum
The closest relatives of the Little Skimmer that you can see in Antalya (genus Orthetrum) are Slender Skimmer (about 20%), Keeled Skimmer (about 20%) and Epaulet Skimmer (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Little Skimmer is recorded against all the insects logged in Antalya (17 verified sightings), 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.
