Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Uranothauma falkensteini sighting in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 18th most-seen of the 38 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Uranothauma falkensteini in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April–May and August–February, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Uranothauma falkensteini 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 Uranothauma falkensteini sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Uranothauma falkensteini is recorded against all the insects logged in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (9 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.
