Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Erinnyis oenotrus sighting in Bogota on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 76th most-seen of the 101 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.
November to January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Erinnyis oenotrus in Bogota on a given day, against under 5% in February to October, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Erinnyis oenotrus sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Bogota, in our data
Bogota is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Erinnyis oenotrus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Erinnyis oenotrus is recorded against all the insects logged in Bogota (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.
