Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Straight-Edge Red Parasol sighting in Yogyakarta on a given day, based on 55 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 8th most-seen of the 141 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, June and August–September
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Straight-Edge Red Parasol in Yogyakarta on a given day, against about 20% in May and November, the lowest months. Those are among Yogyakarta's driest months, with about 100 mm of rain a month against 350 mm in January.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Straight-Edge Red Parasol sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Straight-Edge Red Parasol sightings, Yogyakarta ranks 2nd at about 40%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Kuching (Malaysia, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Straight-Edge Red Parasol is recorded against all the insects logged in Yogyakarta (55 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.
