Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hanno Blue sighting in Medellín on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 151st most-seen of the 175 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hanno Blue in Medellín on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and October–April, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hanno Blue sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
16th of 16
Of the 16 cities where we can rate Hanno Blue sightings, Medellín ranks 16th at under 5%. The best odds are in Salvador (Brazil, about 30%), São Luís (Brazil, about 30%) and Caracas (Venezuela, about 30%).
Same family: Lycaenidae
The closest relatives of the Hanno Blue that you can see in Medellín (family Lycaenidae, Gossamer-winged Butterflies) are Cassius Blue (about 10%), Orange-Barred Pixie (about 10%) and Lycaena cyna (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hanno Blue is recorded against all the insects logged in Medellín (6 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.
