Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-Tailed Sylph sighting in Monterrey on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 245th most-seen of the 413 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and September–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-Tailed Sylph in Monterrey on a given day, against under 5% in April–August and November–February, the lowest months. Those are among Monterrey's wettest months, with about 95 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in February.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-Tailed Sylph sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Of the 2 cities where we can rate White-Tailed Sylph sightings, Monterrey has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Guadalajara (México, under 5%).
Same family: Libellulidae
The closest relatives of the White-Tailed Sylph that you can see in Monterrey (family Libellulidae, Skimmers) are Filigree Skimmer (about 10%), Band-Winged Dragonlet (about 10%) and Black Setwing (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-Tailed Sylph is recorded against all the insects logged in Monterrey (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.
