Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Thick Wax Scale sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 45 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 152nd 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February to April
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Thick Wax Scale in Mexico City on a given day, against under 5% in May to January, the lowest months. Those are among Mexico City's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 150 mm in July.
Only Mexico City, in our data
Mexico City is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Thick Wax Scale sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Thick Wax Scale is recorded against all the insects logged in Mexico City (45 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.
