Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Manduca chinchilla sighting in Lima on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 75th most-seen of the 95 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January to May
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Manduca chinchilla in Lima on a given day, against under 5% in June to December, the lowest months.
Only Lima, in our data
Lima is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Manduca chinchilla sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Manduca chinchilla is recorded against all the insects logged in Lima (8 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.
