With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-Tailed Sprite sighting in Guangzhou on a given day, based on 36 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 98th most-seen of the 482 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–May, July–August and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-Tailed Sprite in Guangzhou on a given day, against under 5% in June, September and November–February, the lowest months.
10th of 12

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange-Tailed Sprite is recorded against all the insects logged in Guangzhou (36 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.
