What time of day is best to see a Lagartinho?

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lagartinho sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

Where else can you see a Lagartinho?

Only São Paulo, in our data

São Paulo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Lagartinho sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

Where does the Lagartinho sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Lagartinho is recorded against all the reptiles logged in São Paulo (10 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.
