Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Mormidea ypsilon sighting in Caracas on a given day, based on 43 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 12th most-seen of the 107 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.
November
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Mormidea ypsilon in Caracas on a given day, against under 5% in January to March, the lowest months.
Between 4 and 7 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mormidea ypsilon sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 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 Mormidea ypsilon is recorded against all the insects logged in Caracas (43 verified sightings), 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.
