With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Sullied Sailer sighting in Tuen Mun on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 318th most-seen of the 557 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February, April and July–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Sullied Sailer in Tuen Mun on a given day, against under 5% in March, May–June and December–January, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Southern Sullied Sailer sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Southern Sullied Sailer sightings, Tuen Mun ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Hong Kong (China, about 10%) and Dhaka (Bangladesh, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Sullied Sailer is recorded against all the insects logged in Tuen Mun (11 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.
