With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Frosted Mimic-White sighting in Bogota on a given day, based on 23 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.
June to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Frosted Mimic-White in Bogota on a given day, against under 5% in October to May, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Frosted Mimic-White sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Bogota, in our data
Bogota is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Frosted Mimic-White sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Pieridae
The closest relatives of the Frosted Mimic-White that you can see in Bogota (family Pieridae, Whites, Yellows, and Sulphurs) are Green-Eyed White (about 10%) and Dimera Sulphur (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Frosted Mimic-White is recorded against all the insects logged in Bogota (23 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.
