Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Euphoria basalis sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 2,380 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 2nd most-seen of the 557 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and September
In those months about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Euphoria basalis in Mexico City on a given day, against under 5% in December to May, the lowest months. Those are among Mexico City's wettest months, with about 150 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 Euphoria basalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 6
Of the 6 cities where we can rate Euphoria basalis sightings, Mexico City ranks 2nd at about 30%. The best odds are in Toluca (México, about 50%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Euphoria basalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Mexico City (2,380 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.
