With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Mocha Emerald sighting in Congaree National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 93rd most-seen of the 145 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Mocha Emerald in Congaree National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to May, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mocha Emerald 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 Congaree National Park, in our data
Congaree National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Mocha Emerald sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mocha Emerald is recorded against all the insects logged in Congaree National Park (8 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.
