With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Skimmer sighting in Bangkok on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 75th most-seen of the 245 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–April, July–October and December–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Skimmer in Bangkok on a given day, against under 5% in February, May–June and November, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Banded Skimmer sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Banded Skimmer sightings, Bangkok ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Singapore (Singapore, about 10%).
Same family: Libellulidae
The closest relatives of the Banded Skimmer that you can see in Bangkok (family Libellulidae, Skimmers) are Ditch Jewel (about 30%), Oriental Blue Dasher (about 20%) and Common Parasol (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Banded Skimmer is recorded against all the insects logged in Bangkok (28 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.
