With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pycnosarcus atavus sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 79 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 92nd most-seen of the 832 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pycnosarcus atavus 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 Pycnosarcus atavus sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Pycnosarcus atavus that you can see in São Paulo (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Schistocerca flavofasciata (about 20%), Ronderosia bergii (about 10%) and Abracris flavolineata (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pycnosarcus atavus is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (79 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.
