Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Estigmene albida sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 276th 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
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Estigmene albida in Mexico City on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months. That is one of Mexico City's wettest months, with about 150 mm of rain against 5 mm in December.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Estigmene albida sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 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 Estigmene albida sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Estigmene albida is recorded against all the insects logged in Mexico City (20 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.
