Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Common Groundstreak sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 425th 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.
January
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Common Groundstreak in São Paulo on a given day, against under 5% in February to December, the lowest months. That is one of São Paulo's wettest months, with about 230 mm of rain against 35 mm in August.

2nd of 2

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Groundstreak is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (13 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.
