Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Anchemola Sphinx sighting in Panama City on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 90th most-seen of the 131 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–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Anchemola Sphinx in Panama City on a given day, against under 5% in August and November–May, the lowest months. Those are among Panama City's wettest months, with about 240 mm of rain a month against 10 mm in February.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Anchemola Sphinx sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Anchemola Sphinx sightings, Panama City ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Manaus (Brazil, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Anchemola Sphinx is recorded against all the insects logged in Panama City (6 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.
