Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White Featherleg sighting in Porto on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 422nd most-seen of the 498 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.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White Featherleg in Porto on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Porto's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain against 140 mm in January.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White Featherleg sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate White Featherleg sightings, Porto ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Madrid (Spain, under 5%) and Barcelona (Spain, under 5%).
Same order: Odonata
The closest relatives of the White Featherleg that you can see in Porto (order Odonata, Dragonflies and Damselflies) are Copper Demoiselle (about 10%), Keeled Skimmer (about 10%) and Large Red Damselfly (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White Featherleg is recorded against all the insects logged in Porto (6 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.
