With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Poecilosoma eone sighting in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 37th most-seen of the 169 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and March–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Poecilosoma eone in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, against under 5% in February and November–December, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Poecilosoma eone is recorded against all the insects logged in Rio de Janeiro (19 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.
