Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Bombus robustus sighting in Quito on a given day, based on 135 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 5th most-seen of the 83 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–April and August
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Bombus robustus in Quito on a given day, against under 5% in November, the lowest month.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bombus robustus is recorded against all the insects logged in Quito (135 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.
