Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Heterogomphus bourcieri sighting in Quito on a given day, based on 93 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 7th most-seen of the 83 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Heterogomphus bourcieri in Quito on a given day, against under 5% in May–June and August, the lowest months. That is one of Quito's wettest months, with about 140 mm of rain against 25 mm in August.
Only Quito, in our data
Quito is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Heterogomphus bourcieri sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Scarabaeidae
The closest relatives of the Heterogomphus bourcieri that you can see in Quito (family Scarabaeidae, Scarabs) are Golofa unicolor (about 20%) and Ancognatha scarabaeoides (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Heterogomphus bourcieri is recorded against all the insects logged in Quito (93 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.
