Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black Scale sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 442nd most-seen of the 557 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black Scale in Mexico City on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Among the best
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Black Scale sightings, Mexico City ranks 4th at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sydney (Australia, under 5%), Melbourne (Australia, under 5%) and Brisbane (Australia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black Scale is recorded against all the insects logged in Mexico City (7 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.
