With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Deielia phaon sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 118 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 18th most-seen of the 401 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June to August
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Deielia phaon in Beijing on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, the lowest months. Those are among Beijing's wettest months, with about 110 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
2nd of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Deielia phaon sightings, Beijing ranks 2nd at about 10%. The best odds are in Daegu (South Korea, about 20%).
Same family: Libellulidae
The closest relatives of the Deielia phaon that you can see in Beijing (family Libellulidae, Skimmers) are White-Tailed Skimmer (about 20%), Scarlet Skimmer (about 10%) and Butterfly Flutterer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Deielia phaon is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (118 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.
