Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Limenitis leucophthalma sighting in Arenal Volcano National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 256th most-seen of the 302 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.
March, July and October–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Limenitis leucophthalma in Arenal Volcano National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–June, August–September and December–February, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Limenitis leucophthalma sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Limenitis leucophthalma sightings, Arenal Volcano National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Chirripó National Park (Costa Rica, about 20%) and Los Nevados National Natural Park (Colombia, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Limenitis leucophthalma is recorded against all the insects logged in Arenal Volcano 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.
