Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tailed Cecropian sighting in San José on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 210th most-seen of the 239 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, June and August–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tailed Cecropian in San José on a given day, against under 5% in April–May, July and November–February, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Tailed Cecropian 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 San José, in our data
San José is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Tailed Cecropian sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Tailed Cecropian 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 Tailed Cecropian is recorded against all the insects logged in San José (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.
