Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Regal Pond Cruiser sighting in Taipei on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 455th most-seen of the 765 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.
May and September–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Regal Pond Cruiser in Taipei on a given day, against under 5% in June–August and November–April, the lowest months.
7th of 7
Of the 7 cities where we can rate Regal Pond Cruiser sightings, Taipei ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Beijing (China, about 10%), Nanjing (China, about 10%) and Shanghai (China, about 10%).
Same order: Odonata
The closest relatives of the Regal Pond Cruiser that you can see in Taipei (order Odonata, Dragonflies and Damselflies) are Neurothemis taiwanensis (about 30%), Crimson-Tailed Marsh Hawk (about 20%) and Blue-Tailed Forest Hawk (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 Taipei (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.
