Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-Banded Metalmark sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 17 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.
June and August
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-Banded Metalmark in São Paulo on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–May, the lowest months. Those are among São Paulo's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain a month against 230 mm in January.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Orange-Banded Metalmark 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 Orange-Banded Metalmark sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Riodinidae
The closest relatives of the Orange-Banded Metalmark that you can see in São Paulo (family Riodinidae, Metalmark Butterflies) are Lycisca Metalmark (about 10%) and Long-Tailed Metalmark (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange-Banded Metalmark is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (17 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.
