With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Turquoise-Tipped Darner sighting in Guatemala City on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 68th most-seen of the 87 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.
December
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Turquoise-Tipped Darner in Guatemala City on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, June and August–November, the lowest months. That is one of Guatemala City's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 240 mm in September.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Turquoise-Tipped Darner sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Guatemala City, in our data
Guatemala City is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Turquoise-Tipped Darner sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Turquoise-Tipped Darner is recorded against all the insects logged in Guatemala City (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.
