With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Blue-Spotted Hawker sighting in Melbourne on a given day, based on 291 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 56th most-seen of the 875 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November to January
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Blue-Spotted Hawker in Melbourne on a given day, against under 5% in April to September, the lowest months.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Blue-Spotted Hawker sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Blue-Spotted Hawker is recorded against all the insects logged in Melbourne (291 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.
