Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White Satyr sighting in San José on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 172nd 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and December–February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White Satyr in San José on a given day, against under 5% in March–July and September–November, the lowest months. Those are among San José's driest months, with about 80 mm of rain a month against 300 mm in October.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White Satyr sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 4
Of the 4 cities where we can rate White Satyr sightings, San José ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in San Salvador (El Salvador, about 10%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the White Satyr 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 White Satyr is recorded against all the insects logged in San José (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.
