With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Five-lined Flying Dragon sighting in Singapore on a given day, based on 42 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 37th most-seen of the 64 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–May and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Five-lined Flying Dragon in Singapore on a given day, against under 5% in June–September and December, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Five-lined Flying Dragon sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Singapore, in our data
Singapore is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Five-lined Flying Dragon sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Draco
The closest relatives of the Five-lined Flying Dragon that you can see in Singapore (genus Draco, Gliding lizards) are Sumatran Gliding Lizard (about 20%) and Black-barbed Flying Dragon (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Five-lined Flying Dragon is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Singapore (42 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.
