With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Skipperling sighting in Puebla on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 55th 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.

In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Skipperling in Puebla on a given day, against under 5% in April–June, August and December–January, the lowest months. That is one of Puebla's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain against 170 mm in September.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Southern Skipperling sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Same family: Hesperiidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Skipperling is recorded against all the insects logged in Puebla (11 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.
