Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Band-Winged Dragonlet sighting in Salvador on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 9th most-seen of the 42 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–May and August
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Band-Winged Dragonlet in Salvador on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, July and September–November, the lowest months. Those are among Salvador's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain a month against 45 mm in December.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Band-Winged Dragonlet 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 23 cities where we can rate Band-Winged Dragonlet sightings, Salvador ranks 2nd at about 30%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in San Pedro Sula (Honduras, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Band-Winged Dragonlet is recorded against all the insects logged in Salvador (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.
