Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Hercules Morpho sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 273rd 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.
February and November–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hercules Morpho in São Paulo on a given day, against under 5% in January and March–October, the lowest months. Those are among São Paulo's wettest months, with about 170 mm of rain a month against 35 mm in August.
Only São Paulo, in our data
São Paulo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Hercules Morpho sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hercules Morpho is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (22 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.
