In 3 days ~30% in a week ~50%
Paratrigona subnuda, commonly known as the jataí-da-terra ("ground jataí"), is a species of eusocial stingless bee in the family Apidae and tribe Meliponini. These social bees are prevalent in Neotropical moist forests, including Brazilian Atlantic and other South American forests. They inhabit spherical nests in moist underground environments with their forest habitats. Within their Neotropical habitats the P. subnuda is considered to be a very successful and common species of bee. P. subnuda’s main source of food is pollen and nectar from a large variety of native Mesoamerican tropical plants. They have been extensively studied due to social conflicts arising from single mate behaviors and particular virgin behaviors. P. subnuda also exhibits the particular daily behavior in which they open the nest entrance at dawn and close the entrance at dusk when all their activities are done.
P. subnuda belongs to the family Apidae, but far exceed the diversity and habitat distribution in comparison to honeybees. Stingless bees arose as a pivotal force in the Neotropics at the end of the Cretaceous period. P. subnuda belongs to the Meliponini tribe, which is defined... Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Paratrigona subnuda sighting in Curitiba on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 73rd most-seen of the 177 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and May
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Paratrigona subnuda in Curitiba on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and October–January, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Paratrigona subnuda is recorded against all the insects logged in Curitiba (16 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.
