With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Juno Silverspot sighting in Guatemala City on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 19th most-seen of the 87 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Juno Silverspot in Guatemala City on a given day, against under 5% in March and October–January, the lowest months. That is one of Guatemala City's wettest months, with about 240 mm of rain against 5 mm in January.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Juno Silverspot sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
15th of 24
Of the 24 cities where we can rate Juno Silverspot sightings, Guatemala City ranks 15th at about 10%. The best odds are in Quito (Ecuador, about 30%), Arequipa (Peru, about 30%) and Puebla (México, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Juno Silverspot is recorded against all the insects logged in Guatemala City (18 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.
