Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mesomphalia gibbosa sighting in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 105th most-seen of the 169 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–June, August, October and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mesomphalia gibbosa in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, July, September and November, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mesomphalia gibbosa sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Rio de Janeiro, in our data
Rio de Janeiro is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Mesomphalia gibbosa sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mesomphalia gibbosa is recorded against all the insects logged in Rio de Janeiro (7 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.
