Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Cerulean Orchid Bee sighting in Monterrey on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 185th most-seen of the 413 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.
June–July and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cerulean Orchid Bee in Monterrey on a given day, against under 5% in August and October–May, the lowest months. Those are among Monterrey's wettest months, with about 120 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in February.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cerulean Orchid Bee sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Monterrey, in our data
Monterrey is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cerulean Orchid Bee sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Apidae
The closest relatives of the Cerulean Orchid Bee that you can see in Monterrey (family Apidae, Honey Bees, Bumble Bees, and Allies) are Sonoran Bumble Bee (about 10%), Xylocopa griswoldi (about 10%) and Horse-Fly Carpenter Bee (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cerulean Orchid Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in Monterrey (18 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.
