With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Wild Olive Tortoise Beetle sighting in Monterrey on a given day, based on 32 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 111th 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.
May–June and August–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Wild Olive Tortoise Beetle in Monterrey on a given day, against under 5% in January–April and July, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm

Only Monterrey, in our data
Monterrey is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Wild Olive Tortoise Beetle sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Wild Olive Tortoise Beetle is recorded against all the insects logged in Monterrey (32 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.
