Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tomaspis furcata 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.
October to December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tomaspis furcata in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, against under 5% in January to September, the lowest months. Those are among Rio de Janeiro's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in August.

Same order: Hemiptera
The closest relatives of the Tomaspis furcata that you can see in Rio de Janeiro (order Hemiptera, True Bugs, Hoppers, Aphids, and allies) are Pachylis laticornis (about 10%), Machtima crucigera (about 10%) and Macugonalia leucomelas (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tomaspis furcata 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.
