Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Hoplognathoca costarricensis 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 San José, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hoplognathoca costarricensis is recorded against all the insects logged in San José (8 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.
