With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Actinote anteas sighting in San José on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 77th most-seen of the 239 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.
February
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Actinote anteas in San José on a given day, against under 5% in January, April and June, the lowest months. That is one of San José's driest months, with about 20 mm of rain against 300 mm in October.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Actinote anteas sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only San José, in our data
San José is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Actinote anteas sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Actinote anteas that you can see in San José (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Monarch (about 30%), Banded Peacock (about 30%) and Rusty-Tipped Page (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Actinote anteas is recorded against all the insects logged in San José (20 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.
