Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Margined Flower Buprestid sighting in Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 17th most-seen of the 112 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June to August
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-Margined Flower Buprestid in Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in September and November–May, the lowest months. Those are among Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve's wettest months, with about 110 mm of rain a month against 20 mm in February.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-Margined Flower Buprestid sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Yellow-Margined Flower Buprestid sightings, Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Cumbres de Monterrey National Park (Mexico, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-Margined Flower Buprestid is recorded against all the insects logged in Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve (28 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.
