With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Xiphiagrion cyanomelas sighting in Sepilok on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 29th most-seen of the 87 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and October
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Xiphiagrion cyanomelas in Sepilok on a given day, against under 5% in February–March, August and December, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Xiphiagrion cyanomelas 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 Sepilok, in our data
Sepilok is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Xiphiagrion cyanomelas sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Coenagrionidae
The closest relatives of the Xiphiagrion cyanomelas that you can see in Sepilok (family Coenagrionidae, Narrow-winged Damselflies) are Orange-Tailed Marsh Dart (about 20%), Variable Wisp (about 10%) and Blue Riverdamsel (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Xiphiagrion cyanomelas is recorded against all the insects logged in Sepilok (18 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.
