Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Tailed Darner sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 49 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 140th most-seen of the 557 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, July and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Tailed Darner in Mexico City on a given day, against under 5% in June, August–September and December–April, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-Tailed Darner sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Mexico City, in our data
Mexico City is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Black-Tailed Darner sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-Tailed Darner is recorded against all the insects logged in Mexico City (49 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.
