With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dark-Tipped Forest-Skimmer sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 503 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 62nd most-seen of the 1045 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and June
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Dark-Tipped Forest-Skimmer in Singapore on a given day, against about 10% in July to April, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dark-Tipped Forest-Skimmer sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Dark-Tipped Forest-Skimmer sightings, Singapore has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dark-Tipped Forest-Skimmer is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (503 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.
