With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Walker's Moth sighting in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 85th 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–July and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Walker's Moth in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, against under 5% in August–September and November–February, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Walker's Moth sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Rio de Janeiro, in our data
Rio de Janeiro is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Walker's Moth sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Walker's Moth that you can see in Rio de Janeiro (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Black Witch (about 10%), Poecilosoma eone (about 10%) and Cosmosoma telephus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Walker's Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Rio de Janeiro (9 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.
