Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Xyleus discoideus sighting in Recife on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 21st most-seen of the 67 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.
May
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Xyleus discoideus in Recife on a given day, against under 5% in January–April and October–November, the lowest months. That is one of Recife's wettest months, with about 200 mm of rain against 25 mm in November.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Xyleus discoideus sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Xyleus discoideus sightings, Recife ranks 3rd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Valencia (Venezuela, about 20%) and San Pedro Sula (Honduras, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Xyleus discoideus is recorded against all the insects logged in Recife (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.
