Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Saurita cassandra sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 568th 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 a Saurita cassandra in São Paulo on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only São Paulo, in our data
São Paulo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Saurita cassandra sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Saurita cassandra that you can see in São Paulo (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Apistosia judas (about 10%), Black Witch (about 10%) and Argyroeides ophion (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Saurita cassandra is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (8 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.
