Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chilean Lady sighting in Santiago on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 126th most-seen of the 173 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.
March, May–June, August and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chilean Lady in Santiago on a given day, against under 5% in April, July, September–October and December–February, the lowest months. Those are among Santiago's wettest months, with about 35 mm of rain a month against 5 mm in December.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chilean Lady sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Santiago, in our data
Santiago is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Chilean Lady sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chilean Lady is recorded against all the insects logged in Santiago (7 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.
