With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red Sprite sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 108th most-seen of the 297 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Red Sprite in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–April, June and September–December, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red Sprite sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Kinabalu Park, in our data
Kinabalu Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Red Sprite sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Odonata

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red Sprite is recorded against all the insects logged in Kinabalu Park (14 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.
