With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Forrer's Leafwing sighting in Calakmul Biosphere Reserve on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 31st most-seen of the 75 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June and July
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Forrer's Leafwing in Calakmul Biosphere Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months. Those are among Calakmul Biosphere Reserve's wettest months, with about 90 mm of rain a month against 15 mm in February.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Forrer's Leafwing sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, in our data
Calakmul Biosphere Reserve is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Forrer's Leafwing sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Forrer's Leafwing is recorded against all the insects logged in Calakmul Biosphere Reserve (16 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.
