Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Malagasy Featherleg sighting in Antananarivo on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 23rd most-seen of the 59 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.
June, September and November
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Malagasy Featherleg in Antananarivo on a given day, against under 5% in January, May, July–August and October, the lowest months. Those are among Antananarivo's driest months, with about 120 mm of rain a month against 480 mm in January.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Malagasy Featherleg sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 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 Malagasy Featherleg sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Odonata
The closest relatives of the Malagasy Featherleg that you can see in Antananarivo (order Odonata, Dragonflies and Damselflies) are Broad Scarlet (about 50%), Southern Banded Groundling (about 50%) and Common Bluetail (about 50%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Malagasy Featherleg is recorded against all the insects logged in Antananarivo (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.
