Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Red Rockdweller sighting in Lagos on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 8 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.
May
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Red Rockdweller in Lagos on a given day, against under 5% in January–April, June and August–October, the lowest months. That is one of Lagos's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain against 25 mm in December.
4th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Red Rockdweller sightings, Lagos ranks 4th at about 20%. The best odds are in Monrovia (Liberia, about 40%), Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire, about 30%) and Accra (Ghana, about 30%).
Same family: Libellulidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red Rockdweller is recorded against all the insects logged in Lagos (10 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.
