With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ceriagrion nipponicum sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 143rd most-seen of the 401 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ceriagrion nipponicum in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in September to May, the lowest months. Those are among Beijing's wettest months, with about 110 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Ceriagrion nipponicum sightings, Beijing has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Seoul (South Korea, under 5%).
Same family: Coenagrionidae
The closest relatives of the Ceriagrion nipponicum that you can see in Beijing (family Coenagrionidae, Narrow-winged Damselflies) are Dusky Lilysquatter (about 10%), Blue-Tailed Damselfly (about 10%) and Ischnura asiatica (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ceriagrion nipponicum is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (18 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.
