With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Eulaema polychroma sighting in San Salvador on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 47th most-seen of the 72 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.
August
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Eulaema polychroma in San Salvador on a given day, against under 5% in May, July and October–March, the lowest months. That is one of San Salvador's wettest months, with about 250 mm of rain against almost none in January.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eulaema polychroma sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Eulaema polychroma sightings, San Salvador ranks 6th at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in San José (Costa Rica, about 10%), Guatemala City (Guatemala, about 10%) and Tegucigalpa (Honduras, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eulaema polychroma is recorded against all the insects logged in San Salvador (6 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.
