Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Apistosia judas sighting in Belo Horizonte on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 162nd most-seen of the 186 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–February and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Apistosia judas in Belo Horizonte on a given day, against under 5% in March–October and December, the lowest months. Those are among Belo Horizonte's wettest months, with about 180 mm of rain a month against 5 mm in July.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Apistosia judas is recorded against all the insects logged in Belo Horizonte (7 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.
