With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Thecla bathildis sighting in Cahuita National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 33rd most-seen of the 51 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Thecla bathildis in Cahuita National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May–August and November–January, the lowest months. That is one of Cahuita National Park's driest months, with about 170 mm of rain against 560 mm in July.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Thecla bathildis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 7
Of the 7 parks where we can rate Thecla bathildis sightings, Cahuita National Park ranks 4th at about 10%. The best odds are in Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve (Mexico, about 40%), Lago de Yojoa (Honduras, about 10%) and Tortuguero National Park (Costa Rica, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Thecla bathildis is recorded against all the insects logged in Cahuita National Park (7 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.
