With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Phileurus didymus sighting in Braulio Carrillo National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 150th most-seen of the 378 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and July
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Phileurus didymus in Braulio Carrillo National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March, May, August–September and November–December, the lowest months.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Phileurus didymus sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Braulio Carrillo National Park, in our data
Braulio Carrillo National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Phileurus didymus sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Phileurus didymus is recorded against all the insects logged in Braulio Carrillo National Park (14 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.
