With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Widespread Eighty-Eight sighting in São Paulo on a given day, based on 44 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 157th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March–August and December–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Widespread Eighty-Eight in São Paulo on a given day, against under 5% in February and September–November, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Widespread Eighty-Eight sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Widespread Eighty-Eight sightings, São Paulo ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Curitiba (Brazil, about 10%) and Porto Alegre (Brazil, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Widespread Eighty-Eight is recorded against all the insects logged in São Paulo (44 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.
