Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Smith's Pixie 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.
March–April and June–July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Smith's Pixie in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, against under 5% in May and August–February, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Smith's Pixie sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
4th of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Smith's Pixie sightings, Rio de Janeiro ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia, about 10%), Curitiba (Brazil, about 10%) and Porto Alegre (Brazil, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Smith's Pixie 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.
