Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pale Sicklewing sighting in Monterrey on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 209th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and December–February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pale Sicklewing in Monterrey on a given day, against under 5% in March–September and November, the lowest months. Those are among Monterrey's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain a month against 200 mm in September.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pale Sicklewing sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Pale Sicklewing sightings, Monterrey ranks 8th at under 5%. The best odds are in Puebla (México, about 10%), Toluca (México, about 10%) and Mexico City (México, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale Sicklewing is recorded against all the insects logged in Monterrey (13 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.
