With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Silver Emperor sighting in Calakmul Biosphere Reserve on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 62nd most-seen of the 75 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August, October and December–January
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Silver Emperor in Calakmul Biosphere Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in February–July, September and November, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Silver Emperor is recorded against all the insects logged in Calakmul Biosphere Reserve (5 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.
