With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Sicklewing sighting in Curitiba on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 69th 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.
March and July
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Sicklewing in Curitiba on a given day, against under 5% in June, August–October and December, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Southern Sicklewing sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Sicklewing 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.
