Before you go

What are the chances of seeing an Emerald in Singapore?

Rare

Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Emerald sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 891st most-seen of the 1045 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.

When is the best time to see an Emerald in Singapore?

Any time of year

In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Emerald in Singapore on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

What time of day is best to see an Emerald?

Between noon and 3 pm

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Emerald sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Where else can you see an Emerald?

Only Singapore, in our data

Singapore is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Emerald sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

Which relatives of the Emerald live in Singapore?

Same order: Odonata

The closest relatives of the Emerald that you can see in Singapore (order Odonata, Dragonflies and Damselflies) are Common Parasol (about 40%), Crimson Marsh Glider (about 30%) and Scarlet Skimmer (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.

Where does the Emerald sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Emerald is recorded against all the insects logged in Singapore (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.
