With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eudocima procus sighting in Quito on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 74th most-seen of the 83 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and April
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Eudocima procus in Quito on a given day, against under 5% in February–March and May–November, the lowest months. Those are among Quito's wettest months, with about 160 mm of rain a month against 25 mm in August.
Yes
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Eudocima procus sightings, Quito has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Bogota (Colombia, about 10%) and São Paulo (Brazil, under 5%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Eudocima procus that you can see in Quito (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Black Witch (about 40%), Chrysocale regalis (about 10%) and Owl Moth (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eudocima procus is recorded against all the insects logged in Quito (5 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.
