Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dolichoderus attelaboides sighting in Tijuca National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 95th most-seen of the 132 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and December–March
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dolichoderus attelaboides in Tijuca National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–September and November, the lowest months. Those are among Tijuca National Park's wettest months, with about 150 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in July.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dolichoderus attelaboides sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Dolichoderus attelaboides sightings, Tijuca National Park ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Serra dos Órgãos National Park (Brazil, about 20%), Main Ridge Forest Reserve (Trinidad and Tobago, about 10%) and Yasuní National Park (Ecuador, about 10%).
Same family: Formicidae
The closest relatives of the Dolichoderus attelaboides that you can see in Tijuca National Park (family Formicidae, Ants) are Shimmering Golden Sugar Ant (about 20%), Atta robusta (about 10%) and Pachycondyla apicalis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dolichoderus attelaboides is recorded against all the insects logged in Tijuca National Park (6 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.
