Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Eriopis chilensis sighting in Santiago on a given day, based on 248 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 6th most-seen of the 173 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and November
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report an Eriopis chilensis in Santiago on a given day, against under 5% in June, the lowest month. Those are among Santiago's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain a month against 65 mm in June.
Between 5 and 8 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Eriopis chilensis sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Santiago, in our data
Santiago is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Eriopis chilensis sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Coccinellidae
The closest relatives of the Eriopis chilensis that you can see in Santiago (family Coccinellidae, Lady Beetles) are Asian Lady Beetle (about 40%), Variegated Lady Beetle (about 30%) and Spotless Lady Beetle (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Eriopis chilensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Santiago (248 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.
