Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Euptychia cornelius sighting in Monterrey on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 230th 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.
September and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Euptychia cornelius in Monterrey on a given day, against under 5% in November to August, the lowest months. Those are among Monterrey's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in February.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Euptychia cornelius 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 Euptychia cornelius sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Euptychia cornelius that you can see in Monterrey (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Monarch (about 30%), American Snout (about 20%) and Bordered Patch (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Euptychia cornelius is recorded against all the insects logged in Monterrey (11 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.
