With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Rugitermes laticollis sighting in Quito on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 47th 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.
August to October
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Rugitermes laticollis in Quito on a given day, against under 5% in July and December–May, the lowest months. Those are among Quito's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain a month against 180 mm in April.
Only Quito, in our data
Quito is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Rugitermes laticollis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rugitermes laticollis is recorded against all the insects logged in Quito (11 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.
