With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green Jewel Fly sighting in Curitiba on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 142nd most-seen of the 177 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–May and July–August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green Jewel Fly in Curitiba on a given day, against under 5% in June and September–March, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green Jewel Fly 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 11 cities where we can rate Green Jewel Fly sightings, Curitiba ranks 4th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Salvador (Brazil, about 10%), Durban (South Africa, about 10%) and Brasilia (Brazil, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green Jewel Fly is recorded against all the insects logged in Curitiba (6 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.
