Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Common Parasol sighting in Sepilok on a given day, based on 71 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 4th most-seen of the 87 insects 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.

Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Common 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.
5th of 12
Of the 12 parks where we can rate Common Parasol sightings, Sepilok ranks 5th at about 30%. The best odds are in Way Kambas National Park (Indonesia, about 50%), Bako National Park (Malaysia, about 40%) and Khao Sok National Park (Thailand, about 40%). All parks ranked.
Same genus: Neurothemis

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Parasol is recorded against all the insects logged in Sepilok (71 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.
