Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Juno Silverspot sighting in Arequipa on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 5th most-seen of the 5 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.
May and October
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Juno Silverspot in Arequipa on a given day, against under 5% in April and August–September, the lowest months. Those are among Arequipa's driest months, with almost no rain against 45 mm in February.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Juno Silverspot sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 24 cities where we can rate Juno Silverspot sightings, Arequipa ranks 2nd at about 30%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Quito (Ecuador, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Juno Silverspot is recorded against all the insects logged in Arequipa (6 verified sightings), 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.
