With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Four-Tipped Darter sighting in Sapporo on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 40th most-seen of the 44 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and September
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Four-Tipped Darter in Sapporo on a given day, against under 5% in October to July, the lowest months. Those are among Sapporo's wettest months, with about 150 mm of rain a month against 60 mm in April.

Same genus: Sympetrum

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Four-Tipped Darter is recorded against all the insects logged in Sapporo (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.
