Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Hanno Blue sighting in Caracas on a given day, based on 100 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 2nd most-seen of the 107 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Hanno Blue in Caracas on a given day, against about 10% in January and May, the lowest months. That is one of Caracas's wettest months, with about 100 mm of rain against 15 mm in March.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hanno Blue sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 16 cities where we can rate Hanno Blue sightings, Caracas ranks 3rd at about 30%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Salvador (Brazil, about 30%) and São Luís (Brazil, about 30%).
Same family: Lycaenidae
The closest relatives of the Hanno Blue that you can see in Caracas (family Lycaenidae, Gossamer-winged Butterflies) are Lycaena cyna (about 30%), Cassius Blue (about 10%) and Orange-Barred Pixie (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hanno Blue is recorded against all the insects logged in Caracas (100 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.
