With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eulaema polychroma sighting in Puebla on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 88th most-seen of the 118 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.
March
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Eulaema polychroma in Puebla on a given day, against under 5% in June–August and October–February, the lowest months. That is one of Puebla's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain against 170 mm in September.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eulaema polychroma 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 11 cities where we can rate Eulaema polychroma sightings, Puebla ranks 5th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in San José (Costa Rica, about 10%), Guatemala City (Guatemala, about 10%) and Tegucigalpa (Honduras, about 10%).
Same family: Apidae
The closest relatives of the Eulaema polychroma that you can see in Puebla (family Apidae, Honey Bees, Bumble Bees, and Allies) are Sonoran Bumble Bee (about 30%) and Horse-Fly Carpenter Bee (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eulaema polychroma is recorded against all the insects logged in Puebla (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.
