Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Wide-Bellied Skimmer sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 684th most-seen of the 1013 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Wide-Bellied Skimmer in Tokyo on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Wide-Bellied Skimmer sightings, Tokyo ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Daejeon (South Korea, about 20%), Seoul (South Korea, about 10%) and Osaka (Japan, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Wide-Bellied Skimmer is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (12 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.
