Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Leuce Yellow sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 615th 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Leuce Yellow in São Paulo on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Leuce Yellow sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate Leuce Yellow sightings, São Paulo ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Curitiba (Brazil, about 10%) and Vitória (Brazil, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Leuce Yellow is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (7 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.
