Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Forest Chaser sighting in Hong Kong on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 648th most-seen of the 1125 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.
May and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Forest Chaser in Hong Kong on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and September–April, the lowest months. Those are among Hong Kong's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain a month against 25 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.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Forest Chaser sightings, Hong Kong ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Taipei (Taiwan, about 10%), Tuen Mun (China, about 10%) and Guangzhou (China, under 5%).
Same family: Libellulidae
The closest relatives of the Forest Chaser that you can see in Hong Kong (family Libellulidae, Skimmers) are Blue Marsh Hawk (about 30%), Indigo Dropwing (about 20%) and Crimson-Tailed Marsh Hawk (about 20%), 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 Hong Kong (15 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.
