About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Giant Sicklewing sighting in Vitória on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 51st most-seen of the 129 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Giant Sicklewing is recorded against all the insects logged in Vitória (10 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.
