Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Forest Chaser sighting in Guangzhou on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 329th most-seen of the 482 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.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Forest Chaser in Guangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Guangzhou's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain against 30 mm in December.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Forest Chaser sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Forest Chaser sightings, Guangzhou ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Taipei (Taiwan, about 10%) and Tuen Mun (China, about 10%).
Same family: Libellulidae
The closest relatives of the Forest Chaser that you can see in Guangzhou (family Libellulidae, Skimmers) are Russet Percher (about 10%), Wandering Glider (about 10%) and Slender Skimmer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Forest Chaser is recorded against all the insects logged in Guangzhou (16 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.
