Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Bright Sprite sighting in Antananarivo on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 33rd most-seen of the 59 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Bright Sprite in Antananarivo on a given day, against under 5% in February–March, May, July, September–October and December, the lowest months. That is one of Antananarivo's wettest months, with about 480 mm of rain against 45 mm in September.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bright Sprite 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 Antananarivo, in our data
Antananarivo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Bright Sprite sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Coenagrionidae
The closest relatives of the Bright Sprite that you can see in Antananarivo (family Coenagrionidae, Narrow-winged Damselflies) are Common Bluetail (about 50%), Common Citril (about 40%) and Malagasy Bluet (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bright Sprite is recorded against all the insects logged in Antananarivo (13 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.
