With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Carineta basalis sighting in Quito on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 51st 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 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and August
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Carineta basalis in Quito on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, June and October, the lowest months.
Only Quito, in our data
Quito is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Carineta basalis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Carineta basalis that you can see in Quito (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Leptoglossus zonatus (about 20%), Milkweed Assassin Bug (about 10%) and Pellaea stictica (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Carineta basalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Quito (10 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.
