Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Rhionaeschna marchali sighting in Quito on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 24th most-seen of the 83 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.
July
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Rhionaeschna marchali in Quito on a given day, against under 5% in February, August and October, the lowest months. That is one of Quito's driest months, with about 35 mm of rain against 180 mm in April.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rhionaeschna marchali 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 Rhionaeschna marchali sightings, Quito has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Bogota (Colombia, about 10%).
Same order: Odonata
The closest relatives of the Rhionaeschna marchali that you can see in Quito (order Odonata, Dragonflies and Damselflies) are Highland Meadowhawk (about 10%) and Oxyallagma dissidens (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rhionaeschna marchali is recorded against all the insects logged in Quito (28 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.
