Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Red Satyr sighting in Cumbres de Monterrey National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 220th most-seen of the 431 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.
March–April and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Red Satyr in Cumbres de Monterrey National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May–August and October–February, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red Satyr is recorded against all the insects logged in Cumbres de Monterrey National Park (11 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.
