Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Stagmatoptera praecaria sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 362nd 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.
January and March
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Stagmatoptera praecaria in São Paulo on a given day, against under 5% in February and April–December, the lowest months. Those are among São Paulo's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain a month against 35 mm in August.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Stagmatoptera praecaria sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only São Paulo, in our data
São Paulo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Stagmatoptera praecaria sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Stagmatoptera praecaria is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (16 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.
