With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Skimmer sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 101 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 224th most-seen of the 1045 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.
March–April and July–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Banded Skimmer in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in February and May–June, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Banded Skimmer sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Banded Skimmer sightings, Singapore has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Bangkok (Thailand, about 10%) and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia, under 5%).
Same family: Libellulidae
The closest relatives of the Banded Skimmer that you can see in Singapore (family Libellulidae, Skimmers) are Common Parasol (about 40%), Crimson Marsh Glider (about 30%) and Scarlet Skimmer (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Banded Skimmer is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (101 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.
