Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Penelope's Ringlet sighting in Manaus on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 21st most-seen of the 86 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Penelope's Ringlet in Manaus on a given day, against under 5% in January, July and November, the lowest months. That is one of Manaus's wettest months, with about 240 mm of rain against 50 mm in August.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Penelope's Ringlet sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Manaus, in our data
Manaus is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Penelope's Ringlet sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Penelope's Ringlet that you can see in Manaus (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Dirce Beauty (about 30%), Mexican Fritillary (about 20%) and White Peacock (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Penelope's Ringlet is recorded against all the insects logged in Manaus (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.
