Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Lineodes triangulalis sighting in Monterrey on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 327th 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.
December and January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lineodes triangulalis in Monterrey on a given day, against under 5% in February to November, the lowest months. Those are among Monterrey's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain a month against 200 mm in September.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lineodes triangulalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Monterrey, in our data
Monterrey is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Lineodes triangulalis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Lineodes triangulalis that you can see in Monterrey (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Hawaiian Beet Webworm Moth (about 10%), Four-Spotted Palpita Moth (about 10%) and Coffee-Loving Pyrausta Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lineodes triangulalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Monterrey (6 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.
