With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Megachile saulcyi sighting in Santiago on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 45th most-seen of the 173 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Megachile saulcyi in Santiago on a given day, against under 5% in January, May and July–August, the lowest months. That is one of Santiago's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 65 mm in June.
Only Santiago, in our data
Santiago is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Megachile saulcyi sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Megachile
The closest relatives of the Megachile saulcyi that you can see in Santiago (genus Megachile, Leafcutter, Mortar, and Resin Bees) are Alfalfa Leafcutter Bee (about 10%), Megachile euzona (about 10%) and Megachile pollinosa (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Megachile saulcyi is recorded against all the insects logged in Santiago (28 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.
