Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Pied Skimmer sighting in Ningbo on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 5th most-seen of the 20 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.
June and July
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Pied Skimmer in Ningbo on a given day, against under 5% in October to April, the lowest months. Those are among Ningbo's wettest months, with about 180 mm of rain a month against 70 mm in December.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pied Skimmer sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 22 cities where we can rate Pied Skimmer sightings, Ningbo has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Daegu (South Korea, about 20%) and Jinan (China, about 20%).
Same family: Libellulidae
The closest relatives of the Pied Skimmer that you can see in Ningbo (family Libellulidae, Skimmers) are Wandering Glider (about 20%), Ditch Jewel (about 20%) and Slender Skimmer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pied Skimmer is recorded against all the insects logged in Ningbo (9 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.
