Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Orius Skipper sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 672nd 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 an Orius Skipper 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 Orius Skipper 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 Orius Skipper sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Hesperiidae
The closest relatives of the Orius Skipper that you can see in São Paulo (family Hesperiidae, Skippers) are Glassy-Winged Skipper (about 20%), Tropical Checkered-Skipper (about 10%) and Pompeius Skipper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orius Skipper is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (6 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.
