With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chrysocale regalis sighting in Quito on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 31st most-seen of the 83 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–April, June, August–October and December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Chrysocale regalis in Quito on a given day, against under 5% in January and November, the lowest months.
Only Quito, in our data
Quito is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Chrysocale regalis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Chrysocale regalis that you can see in Quito (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Black Witch (about 40%), Owl Moth (about 10%) and Cyanopepla micans (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chrysocale regalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Quito (20 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.
