Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Epityches eupompe sighting in Curitiba on a given day, based on 48 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 16th most-seen of the 177 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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Epityches eupompe is recorded against all the insects logged in Curitiba (48 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.
