Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Common Clubtail sighting in Kaohsiung on a given day, based on 71 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 22nd most-seen of the 218 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.
June and July
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Indian Common Clubtail in Kaohsiung on a given day, against under 5% in April and November–February, the lowest months. Those are among Kaohsiung's wettest months, with about 300 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in February.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Indian Common Clubtail sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 16 cities where we can rate Indian Common Clubtail sightings, Kaohsiung ranks 5th at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Salem (India, about 20%), Bhopal (India, about 20%) and Thiruvananthapuram (India, about 20%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Indian Common Clubtail is recorded against all the insects logged in Kaohsiung (71 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.
