Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cyaniris neglecta sighting in Boston on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 830th most-seen of the 1200 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cyaniris neglecta in Boston on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cyaniris neglecta sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Cyaniris neglecta sightings, Boston ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Philadelphia (United States, about 10%), Washington (United States, about 10%) and Chicago (United States, about 10%).
Same family: Lycaenidae
The closest relatives of the Cyaniris neglecta that you can see in Boston (family Lycaenidae, Gossamer-winged Butterflies) are American Copper (about 10%), Gray Hairstreak (about 10%) and Elkalyce comyntas (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cyaniris neglecta is recorded against all the insects logged in Boston (8 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.
