With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Platycnemis phyllopoda sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 120th most-seen of the 401 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Platycnemis phyllopoda 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 95 mm of rain a month against almost none in January.
8th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Platycnemis phyllopoda sightings, Beijing ranks 8th at about 10%. The best odds are in Daegu (South Korea, about 30%), Daejeon (South Korea, about 20%) and Hangzhou (China, about 10%).
Same order: Odonata
The closest relatives of the Platycnemis phyllopoda that you can see in Beijing (order Odonata, Dragonflies and Damselflies) are White-Tailed Skimmer (about 20%), Deielia phaon (about 10%) and Scarlet Skimmer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Platycnemis phyllopoda is recorded against all the insects logged in Beijing (25 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.
