With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dark-Tipped Forest-Skimmer sighting in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 224th 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.
February–April, September and November–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dark-Tipped Forest-Skimmer in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, against under 5% in January, May–August and October, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dark-Tipped Forest-Skimmer 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 2 cities where we can rate Dark-Tipped Forest-Skimmer sightings, Kuala Lumpur ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Singapore (Singapore, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dark-Tipped Forest-Skimmer is recorded against all the insects logged in Kuala Lumpur (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.
