Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Florida Purplewing sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 751st 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 Florida Purplewing 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.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Florida Purplewing sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Florida Purplewing sightings, São Paulo ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Monterrey (México, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Florida Purplewing is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (5 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.
