With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black Thread Scale sighting in Lima on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 47th most-seen of the 95 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May–July and September–February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Black Thread Scale in Lima on a given day, against under 5% in March–April and August, the lowest months.
Only Lima, in our data
Lima is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Black Thread Scale sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Diaspididae
The closest relatives of the Black Thread Scale that you can see in Lima (family Diaspididae, Armored Scale Insects) are Rose Scale (about 10%) and Purple Scale (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black Thread Scale is recorded against all the insects logged in Lima (12 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.
