Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-Tailed Sylph sighting in Guadalajara on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 199th most-seen of the 229 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-Tailed Sylph in Guadalajara on a given day, against under 5% in March and May–January, the lowest months. Those are among Guadalajara's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain a month against 210 mm in July.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-Tailed Sylph 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 2 cities where we can rate White-Tailed Sylph sightings, Guadalajara ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Monterrey (México, under 5%).
Same family: Libellulidae
The closest relatives of the White-Tailed Sylph that you can see in Guadalajara (family Libellulidae, Skimmers) are Roseate Skimmer (about 10%), Black-Winged Dragonlet (about 10%) and Neon Skimmer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-Tailed Sylph is recorded against all the insects logged in Guadalajara (5 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.
