Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Andean Black Longhorn sighting in Quito on a given day, based on 64 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 11th most-seen of the 83 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Andean Black Longhorn in Quito on a given day, against about 10% in July, the lowest month. That is one of Quito's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 180 mm in April.

Same family: Apidae
The closest relatives of the Andean Black Longhorn that you can see in Quito (family Apidae, Honey Bees, Bumble Bees, and Allies) are Bombus robustus (about 40%), Green-Tailed Carpenter (about 30%) and Gray-Backed Bumble Bee (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Andean Black Longhorn is recorded against all the insects logged in Quito (64 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.
