Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Brazilian Lady sighting in Buenos Aires on a given day, based on 591 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 8th most-seen of the 558 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Brazilian Lady in Buenos Aires on a given day, against about 10% in June–July and December–February, 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.
6th of 10
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Brazilian Lady sightings, Buenos Aires ranks 6th at about 20%. 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 Buenos Aires (591 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.
