With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mell's Gecko sighting in Guangzhou on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 21st most-seen of the 28 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July to November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mell's Gecko in Guangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in December to June, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mell's Gecko sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Guangzhou, in our data
Guangzhou is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Mell's Gecko sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mell's Gecko is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Guangzhou (10 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.
