With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Owly Sulphur sighting in Rome on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 214th most-seen of the 289 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 to June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Owly Sulphur in Rome on a given day, against under 5% in July to March, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Owly Sulphur sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Rome, in our data
Rome is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Owly Sulphur sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Owly Sulphur is recorded against all the insects logged in Rome (7 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.
