Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ethmia davisella sighting in Monterrey on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 262nd 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.
July and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ethmia davisella in Monterrey on a given day, against under 5% in August and October–June, the lowest months. Those are among Monterrey's wettest months, with about 150 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in February.
Between midnight and 3 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ethmia davisella sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Monterrey, in our data
Monterrey is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ethmia davisella sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ethmia davisella is recorded against all the insects logged in Monterrey (17 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.
