Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-Banded Crescent sighting in Chirripó National Park on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 8th most-seen of the 127 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and December
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-Banded Crescent in Chirripó National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April, June–July and September–October, the lowest months. Those are among Chirripó National Park's driest months, with about 120 mm of rain a month against 690 mm in October.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Orange-Banded Crescent sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange-Banded Crescent is recorded against all the insects logged in Chirripó National Park (28 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.
