Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cyanopepla griseldis sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 237th 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 and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cyanopepla griseldis in Mexico City on a given day, against under 5% in May–July and October–March, 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 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cyanopepla griseldis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Cyanopepla griseldis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Cyanopepla griseldis that you can see in Mexico City (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Black Witch (about 20%) and Arachnis dilecta (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cyanopepla griseldis is recorded against all the insects logged in Mexico City (24 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.
