Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Thecla rufofusca sighting in Cordoba on a given day, based on 52 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 6th most-seen of the 111 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.
March
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Thecla rufofusca in Cordoba on a given day, against under 5% in July–October and December, the lowest months. That is one of Cordoba's wettest months, with about 110 mm of rain against 5 mm in August.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Thecla rufofusca sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Cordoba, in our data
Cordoba is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Thecla rufofusca sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Lycaenidae
The closest relatives of the Thecla rufofusca that you can see in Cordoba (family Lycaenidae, Gossamer-winged Butterflies) are Strymon eurytulus (about 20%), Aricoris notialis (about 10%) and Cassius Blue (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Thecla rufofusca is recorded against all the insects logged in Cordoba (52 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.
