Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cecrops Eyed Silkmoth sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 215th 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.
September and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cecrops Eyed Silkmoth in Mexico City on a given day, against under 5% in November to August, the lowest months. Those are among Mexico City's wettest months, with about 110 mm of rain a month against 5 mm in December.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cecrops Eyed Silkmoth sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Mexico City, in our data
Mexico City is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cecrops Eyed Silkmoth sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cecrops Eyed Silkmoth is recorded against all the insects logged in Mexico City (26 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.
