Agriocnemis pygmaea (pygmy wisp) is a species of damselfly in the family Coenagrionidae. It is also known as wandering midget, pygmy dartlet or wandering wisp. It is well distributed across Asia and parts of Australia. Agriocnemis pygmaea is a small damselfly with black capped green eyes, black thorax with apple green stripes on lateral sides. Segments 1 to 7 of its abdomen is black on dorsum and pale green on ventral half. The remaining segments are orange-red. Very old males may get pruinosed on the dorsum of the head and the thorax with snowy white, making all the markings beneath being quite obscured. Female is more robust and exhibits several color morphs. The green color of the male is replaced by red in the females in the red forms. In androchrome forms, the female has same green colors as in the male. Female colour variation is depended on ontogenic colour change
associated with sexual development too. Agriocnemis pygmaea breeds in marshes and ponds. The genus name Agriocnemis is derived from two Greek words: agrion or ἄγριος, meaning wild, and cnemis or κνημίς, meaning legging. Agrion was the name given in 1775 by Johan Fabricius... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Wandering Midget sighting in Vasai-Virar on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 9th most-seen of the 20 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Wandering Midget in Vasai-Virar on a given day, against under 5% in February–April, June–August and October, the lowest months. That is one of Vasai-Virar's wettest months, with about 390 mm of rain against almost none in January.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Wandering Midget 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.
13th of 41
Of the 41 cities where we can rate Wandering Midget sightings, Vasai-Virar ranks 13th at about 30%. The best odds are in Berhampore (India, about 40%), Tiruchirappalli (India, about 40%) and Kolkata (India, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Wandering Midget is recorded against all the insects logged in Vasai-Virar (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.
