With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bow-Faced Jewel sighting in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 38th most-seen of the 38 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.
October
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Bow-Faced Jewel in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–May, August–September and November–January, the lowest months. That is one of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park's wettest months, with about 320 mm of rain against 65 mm in January.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bow-Faced Jewel sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, in our data
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Bow-Faced Jewel sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bow-Faced Jewel is recorded against all the insects logged in Bwindi Impenetrable 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.
