Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lygaeus analis sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 352nd 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.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lygaeus analis in Mexico City on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of Mexico City's wettest months, with about 140 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 Lygaeus analis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Lygaeus analis sightings, Mexico City ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Guadalajara (México, under 5%) and Monterrey (México, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lygaeus analis is recorded against all the insects logged in Mexico City (11 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.
