Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chauliognathus transversus sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 362nd 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.
November to January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chauliognathus transversus in São Paulo on a given day, against under 5% in February to October, the lowest months. Those are among São Paulo's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain a month against 35 mm in August.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chauliognathus transversus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only São Paulo, in our data
São Paulo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Chauliognathus transversus sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Coleoptera
The closest relatives of the Chauliognathus transversus that you can see in São Paulo (order Coleoptera, Beetles) are Asian Lady Beetle (about 30%), Hairy Darkling Beetle (about 10%) 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 Chauliognathus transversus is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (16 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.
