With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Andean Buckeye sighting in Quito on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 42nd most-seen of the 83 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February, April and December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Andean Buckeye in Quito on a given day, against under 5% in March and May–July, the lowest months. Those are among Quito's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in August.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Andean Buckeye sightings, Quito ranks 2nd at about 10%. The best odds are in La Paz (Bolivia, about 20%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Andean Buckeye that you can see in Quito (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Subtropical Lady (about 50%), Juno Silverspot (about 30%) and Andean Silverspot (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Andean Buckeye is recorded against all the insects logged in Quito (16 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.
