With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Violet-Clouded Skipper sighting in Monterrey on a given day, based on 41 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 82nd 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.
February and June–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Violet-Clouded Skipper in Monterrey on a given day, against under 5% in January and March–May, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Violet-Clouded Skipper 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 2 cities where we can rate Violet-Clouded Skipper sightings, Monterrey ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Torreón (México, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Violet-Clouded Skipper is recorded against all the insects logged in Monterrey (41 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.
