Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Segmented Turret Bee sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 443rd 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.
December
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Segmented Turret Bee in São Paulo on a given day, against under 5% in January to November, the lowest months. That is one of São Paulo's wettest months, with about 180 mm of rain against 35 mm in August.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Segmented Turret Bee sightings, São Paulo ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Lima (Peru, under 5%).
Same family: Apidae
The closest relatives of the Segmented Turret Bee that you can see in São Paulo (family Apidae, Honey Bees, Bumble Bees, and Allies) are Narrow Stingless Bee (about 20%), Spiny-Legged Stingless Bee (about 20%) and Nannotrigona testaceicornis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Segmented Turret Bee is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (12 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.
