With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Western Spectre sighting in Porto on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 220th most-seen of the 498 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Western Spectre in Porto on a given day, against under 5% in September to April, the lowest months. Those are among Porto's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain a month against 140 mm in January.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Western Spectre sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Porto, in our data
Porto is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Western Spectre sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Aeshnidae
The closest relatives of the Western Spectre that you can see in Porto (family Aeshnidae, Darners) are Blue Emperor (about 10%) and Southern Hawker (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Western Spectre is recorded against all the insects logged in Porto (21 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.
