Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Theages xantura sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 323rd 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.
May and July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Theages xantura in São Paulo on a given day, against under 5% in June and August–April, the lowest months. Those are among São Paulo's driest months, with about 65 mm of rain a month against 230 mm in January.
Only São Paulo, in our data
São Paulo is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Theages xantura sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Theages xantura 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 Theages xantura is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (18 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.
