Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Nomophila distinctalis sighting in Santiago on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 142nd 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.
February and September–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Nomophila distinctalis in Santiago on a given day, against under 5% in January and March–August, the lowest months. Those are among Santiago's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain a month against 65 mm in June.
Only Santiago, in our data
Santiago is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Nomophila distinctalis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Nomophila distinctalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Santiago (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.
