Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rainbow Skipper sighting in Monterrey on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 185th 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.
June and August–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rainbow Skipper in Monterrey on a given day, against under 5% in July and December–May, the lowest months. Those are among Monterrey's wettest months, with about 85 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 Rainbow Skipper sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 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 Rainbow Skipper sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rainbow Skipper is recorded against all the insects logged in Monterrey (16 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.
