Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Common Flangetail sighting in Johor Bahru on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 21st most-seen of the 53 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Common Flangetail in Johor Bahru on a given day, against under 5% in February–March, May–June, August–September and November, the lowest months. That is one of Johor Bahru's wettest months, with about 300 mm of rain against 100 mm in February.
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.
2nd of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Common Flangetail sightings, Johor Bahru ranks 2nd at about 20%. The best odds are in Yogyakarta (Indonesia, about 30%).
Same order: Odonata

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Flangetail is recorded against all the insects logged in Johor Bahru (7 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.
