Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Epargyreus socus sighting in Monterrey on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 365th 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 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Epargyreus socus in Monterrey on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and September–April, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Epargyreus socus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Epargyreus socus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Hesperiidae
The closest relatives of the Epargyreus socus that you can see in Monterrey (family Hesperiidae, Skippers) are Whirlabout (about 10%), Southern Sicklewing (about 10%) and Brown Longtail (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Epargyreus socus is recorded against all the insects logged in Monterrey (5 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.
