Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Broad Skimmer sighting in Antananarivo on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 20th most-seen of the 59 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.
February and May
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Broad Skimmer in Antananarivo on a given day, against under 5% in June–September and December, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Broad Skimmer sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 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 Broad Skimmer sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Broad Skimmer is recorded against all the insects logged in Antananarivo (26 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.
