With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dimera Sulphur sighting in Bogota on a given day, based on 38 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 29th 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 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May–October and December–March
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dimera Sulphur in Bogota on a given day, against under 5% in April and November, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dimera Sulphur sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Bogota, in our data

Same family: Pieridae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dimera Sulphur is recorded against all the insects logged in Bogota (38 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.
