Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Phaedon cyanescens sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 207th 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 July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Phaedon cyanescens in Mexico City on a given day, against under 5% in May–June and August–March, the lowest months.
Only Mexico City, in our data
Mexico City is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Phaedon cyanescens sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Phaedon cyanescens that you can see in Mexico City (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Asphaera abdominalis (about 10%), Calligrapha diversa (about 10%) and Australian Tortoise Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Phaedon cyanescens is recorded against all the insects logged in Mexico City (30 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.
