Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-Tailed Sprite sighting in Naha on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 46th most-seen of the 94 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and July
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-Tailed Sprite in Naha on a given day, against under 5% in June and October–February, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 12 cities where we can rate Orange-Tailed Sprite sightings, Naha ranks 3rd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tuen Mun (China, about 20%) and Taichung (Taiwan, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange-Tailed Sprite is recorded against all the insects logged in Naha (12 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.
