With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Regal Pond Cruiser sighting in Shanghai on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 102nd most-seen of the 215 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–May and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Regal Pond Cruiser in Shanghai on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and October–March, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Regal Pond Cruiser sightings, Shanghai ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Beijing (China, about 10%) and Nanjing (China, about 10%).
Same order: Odonata
The closest relatives of the Regal Pond Cruiser that you can see in Shanghai (order Odonata, Dragonflies and Damselflies) are Pied Skimmer (about 20%), Slender Skimmer (about 20%) and Ditch Jewel (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Regal Pond Cruiser is recorded against all the insects logged in Shanghai (13 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.
