Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Brazilian Lady sighting in La Paz on a given day, based on 44 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 8th most-seen of the 32 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Brazilian Lady in La Paz on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–February, the lowest months. That is one of La Paz's wettest months, with about 80 mm of rain against 10 mm in June.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brazilian Lady sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Brazilian Lady sightings, La Paz has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Rosario (Argentina, about 30%) and Porto Alegre (Brazil, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Brazilian Lady is recorded against all the insects logged in La Paz (44 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.
