Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Tipped Flashwing sighting in Sinharaja Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 35 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 8th most-seen of the 117 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July to September
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Tipped Flashwing in Sinharaja Forest Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in May, the lowest month.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-Tipped Flashwing 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 Sinharaja Forest Reserve, in our data
Sinharaja Forest Reserve is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Black-Tipped Flashwing sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-Tipped Flashwing is recorded against all the insects logged in Sinharaja Forest Reserve (35 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.
