Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Canthon humectus sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 240th 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.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Canthon humectus in Mexico City on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months. That is one of Mexico City's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain against 150 mm in July.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Canthon humectus is recorded against all the insects logged in Mexico City (25 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.
