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.

Only Santiago, in our data

Same family: Megachilidae
The closest relatives of the Snowy Mason that you can see in Santiago (family Megachilidae, Mason, Leafcutter, Carder, and Resin Bees) are European Woolcarder Bee (about 20%), Alfalfa Leafcutter Bee (about 10%) and Megachile saulcyi (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Snowy Mason 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.
