Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Paddyfield Parasol sighting in Khao Yai National Park on a given day, based on 47 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 9th most-seen of the 221 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.
November
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Paddyfield Parasol in Khao Yai National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May to September, the lowest months. That is one of Khao Yai National Park's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain against 330 mm in September.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Paddyfield 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 3 parks where we can rate Paddyfield Parasol sightings, Khao Yai National Park ranks 2nd at about 30%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Namdapha National Park (India, about 30%).
Same genus: Neurothemis

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Paddyfield Parasol is recorded against all the insects logged in Khao Yai National Park (47 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
