Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Meton Hairstreak sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 344th 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 to July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Meton Hairstreak in São Paulo on a given day, against under 5% in August to March, the lowest months. Those are among São Paulo's driest months, with about 70 mm of rain a month against 230 mm in January.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Meton Hairstreak sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 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 Meton Hairstreak sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Meton Hairstreak is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (18 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.
