Where does the Creon Skipper sighting chance come from?

GBIF citizen-science records

It is estimated from how often the Creon Skipper is recorded against all the insects logged in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (5 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
