With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Flangetail sighting in Jakarta on a given day, based on 42 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 50th most-seen of the 239 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and July
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Common Flangetail in Jakarta on a given day, against under 5% in June and November, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common Flangetail sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Common Flangetail sightings, Jakarta ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 30%) and Johor Bahru (Malaysia, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Flangetail is recorded against all the insects logged in Jakarta (42 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.
