With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eurylomia cordula sighting in Monterrey on a given day, based on 51 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 61st most-seen of the 413 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eurylomia cordula in Monterrey on a given day, against under 5% in October to March, the lowest months. Those are among Monterrey's wettest months, with about 90 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in February.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eurylomia cordula sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 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 Eurylomia cordula sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Eurylomia cordula that you can see in Monterrey (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Black Witch (about 10%), Black-Banded Wasp Moth (about 10%) and Salt Marsh Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eurylomia cordula is recorded against all the insects logged in Monterrey (51 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.
