Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Skipperling 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.
June–July and September–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Skipperling in Monterrey on a given day, against under 5% in August and December–May, the lowest months. Those are among Monterrey's wettest months, with about 90 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in February.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Southern Skipperling sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 10
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Southern Skipperling sightings, Monterrey ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Puebla (México, about 10%), San Antonio (United States, about 10%) and Mexico City (México, under 5%).
Same family: Hesperiidae
The closest relatives of the Southern Skipperling that you can see in Monterrey (family Hesperiidae, Skippers) are Whirlabout (about 10%), Southern Sicklewing (about 10%) and Brown Longtail (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Skipperling 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.
