Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Mcclungia cymo sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 307th 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.
April and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mcclungia cymo in São Paulo on a given day, against under 5% in May and July–March, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mcclungia cymo sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Mcclungia cymo sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mcclungia cymo is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (21 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.
