With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sibine apicalis 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, May, July–August and October–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sibine apicalis in San José on a given day, against under 5% in January, March–April, June and September, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sibine apicalis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only San José, in our data
San José is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Sibine apicalis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sibine apicalis 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.
