Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ameris ynca sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 568th most-seen of the 832 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December and January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ameris ynca in São Paulo on a given day, against under 5% in February to November, the lowest months. Those are among São Paulo's wettest months, with about 200 mm of rain a month against 35 mm in August.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ameris ynca sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Ameris ynca sightings, São Paulo ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Santos (Brazil, about 10%) and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil, under 5%).
Same family: Curculionidae
The closest relatives of the Ameris ynca that you can see in São Paulo (family Curculionidae, True Weevils) are Black Coconut Bunch Weevil (about 10%) and Naupactus bellus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ameris ynca is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (8 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.
