Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Macroaltica jamaicensis sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 443rd 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.
June
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Macroaltica jamaicensis in São Paulo on a given day, against under 5% in July to May, the lowest months. That is one of São Paulo's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain against 230 mm in January.
Only São Paulo, in our data
São Paulo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Macroaltica jamaicensis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Chrysomelidae
The closest relatives of the Macroaltica jamaicensis that you can see in São Paulo (family Chrysomelidae, Leaf Beetles) are Diabrotica limitata (about 10%), Omophoita sexnotata (about 10%) and Coraliomela aeneoplagiata (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Macroaltica jamaicensis is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (12 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.
