With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brazilian Lady sighting in Bogota on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 44th most-seen of the 101 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–June and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Brazilian Lady in Bogota on a given day, against under 5% in July–October and December, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brazilian Lady sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
10th of 10
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Brazilian Lady sightings, Bogota ranks 10th at about 10%. The best odds are in La Paz (Bolivia, about 30%), Rosario (Argentina, about 30%) and Porto Alegre (Brazil, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brazilian Lady is recorded against all the insects logged in Bogota (21 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.
