Draco boschmai is a species of lizard in the family Agamidae. The species is endemic to Indonesia. The specific name, boschmai, is in honor of Dutch zoologist Hilbrand Boschma. Within Indonesia D. boschmai is found on the islands of Adonara, Flores, Komodo, Lombok, Rinca, Sulawesi, Sumba, and Sumbawa.
D. boschmai may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of about 9 cm (3.5 in). The patagium is dark brown. D. boschmai is oviparous. Hennig W (1936). "Revision der Gattung Draco (Agamidae)". Temminckia, Leiden 1: 153–220. (Draco volans boschmai, new subspecies). (in German).

More parks will be added in future updates.
No species of the same family or order lives in Komodo National Park, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Boschma's Flying Dragon sighting in Komodo National Park on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 10th most-seen of the 19 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Boschma's Flying Dragon in Komodo National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, April–July and November, the lowest months. That is one of Komodo National Park's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain against 200 mm in January.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Boschma's Flying Dragon sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Komodo National Park, in our data
Komodo National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Boschma's Flying Dragon sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Boschma's Flying Dragon is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Komodo National Park (13 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.
