Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Silvered Prominent sighting in Monterrey on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 196th 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 to February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Silvered Prominent in Monterrey on a given day, against under 5% in March to September, the lowest months. Those are among Monterrey's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain a month against 200 mm in September.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Silvered Prominent 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.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Silvered Prominent is recorded against all the insects logged in Monterrey (15 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.
