Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Gonodonta pyrgo sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 303rd 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.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Gonodonta pyrgo in Mexico City on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Mexico City's wettest months, with about 150 mm of rain against 5 mm in December.
Only Mexico City, in our data
Mexico City is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Gonodonta pyrgo sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Gonodonta pyrgo 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 Gonodonta pyrgo is recorded against all the insects logged in Mexico City (15 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.
