Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Skimmer sighting in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 245th most-seen of the 323 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May–June, August and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Skimmer in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, against under 5% in July, September and November–April, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Banded Skimmer sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Banded Skimmer sightings, Kuala Lumpur ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Singapore (Singapore, about 10%) and Bangkok (Thailand, about 10%).
Same family: Libellulidae
The closest relatives of the Banded Skimmer that you can see in Kuala Lumpur (family Libellulidae, Skimmers) are Common Parasol (about 30%), Crimson Marsh Glider (about 30%) and Orange Skimmer (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Banded Skimmer is recorded against all the insects logged in Kuala Lumpur (6 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.
