With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Sicklewing sighting in Monterrey on a given day, based on 84 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 33rd most-seen of the 413 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August–September and November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Sicklewing in Monterrey on a given day, against under 5% in March–May and December, the lowest months. Those are among Monterrey's wettest months, with about 95 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in February.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Southern Sicklewing sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Southern Sicklewing sightings, Monterrey ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Porto Alegre (Brazil, about 10%) and Manaus (Brazil, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Sicklewing is recorded against all the insects logged in Monterrey (84 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.
