Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Ghost Sailor sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 30 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 221st 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April to August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Ghost Sailor in São Paulo on a given day, against under 5% in September to March, the lowest months. Those are among São Paulo's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain a month against 230 mm in January.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ghost Sailor sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 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 Ghost Sailor sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ghost Sailor is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (30 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.
