Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Himalayan Jester sighting in Dehradun on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 23rd most-seen of the 73 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.
November
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Himalayan Jester in Dehradun on a given day, against under 5% in April–May, July and December–February, the lowest months. That is one of Dehradun's driest months, with about 5 mm of rain against 370 mm in July.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Himalayan Jester sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Himalayan Jester is recorded against all the insects logged in Dehradun (11 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.
