Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Golden Pearl sighting in Porto on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 422nd most-seen of the 498 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Golden Pearl in Porto on a given day, against under 5% in September to July, the lowest months. That is one of Porto's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain against 140 mm in January.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Golden Pearl sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Porto, in our data
Porto is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Golden Pearl sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Golden Pearl is recorded against all the insects logged in Porto (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.
