Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Poecilocloeus janeirensis sighting in Tijuca National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 118th 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.
February–March and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Poecilocloeus janeirensis in Tijuca National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–May and July–January, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Poecilocloeus janeirensis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Tijuca National Park, in our data
Tijuca National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Poecilocloeus janeirensis sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Poecilocloeus janeirensis that you can see in Tijuca National Park (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Pycnosarcus atavus (about 10%), Abracris flavolineata (about 10%) and Opshomala viridis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Poecilocloeus janeirensis is recorded against all the insects logged in Tijuca National Park (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.
