Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Two-Spotted Cotton Stainer sighting in Mexico City on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 240th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Two-Spotted Cotton Stainer in Mexico City on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Two-Spotted Cotton Stainer sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Mexico City, in our data
Mexico City is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Two-Spotted Cotton Stainer sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Two-Spotted Cotton Stainer is recorded against all the insects logged in Mexico City (25 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.
