About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Pansy Daggerwing sighting in Chirripó National Park on a given day, based on 37 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 2nd most-seen of the 127 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pansy Daggerwing is recorded against all the insects logged in Chirripó National Park (37 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.
