With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Texas Green Calosoma sighting in Monterrey on a given day, based on 35 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 95th most-seen of the 413 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Texas Green Calosoma in Monterrey on a given day, against under 5% in October to April, the lowest months. That is one of Monterrey's wettest months, with about 95 mm of rain against 20 mm in February.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Texas Green Calosoma sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Monterrey, in our data
Monterrey is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Texas Green Calosoma sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Texas Green Calosoma is recorded against all the insects logged in Monterrey (35 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.
