Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Oculate Dancer sighting in Panama City on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 109th most-seen of the 131 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oculate Dancer in Panama City on a given day, against under 5% in September–October and December–July, the lowest months. Those are among Panama City's wettest months, with about 230 mm of rain a month against 10 mm in February.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Oculate Dancer sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Panama City, in our data
Panama City is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Oculate Dancer sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Argia

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oculate Dancer is recorded against all the insects logged in Panama City (5 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.
