Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Parides tros sighting in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 136th 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–May and August–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Parides tros in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, against under 5% in June–July and October–March, the lowest months. Those are among Rio de Janeiro's driest months, with about 70 mm of rain a month against 230 mm in December.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Parides tros 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 Parides tros sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Papilionidae
The closest relatives of the Parides tros that you can see in Rio de Janeiro (family Papilionidae, Swallowtails and Parnassians) are Thoas Swallowtail (about 10%) and Polydamas Swallowtail (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Parides tros is recorded against all the insects logged in Rio de Janeiro (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.
