Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Large Woodskimmer sighting in Darién National Park on a given day, based on 36 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the most-seen of the 16 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and March
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Large Woodskimmer in Darién National Park on a given day, against about 10% in January, June–August and October–November, the lowest months. Those are among Darién National Park's driest months, with about 130 mm of rain a month against 450 mm in November. September has too few records to rate.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Large Woodskimmer sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 8 parks where we can rate Large Woodskimmer sightings, Darién National Park has the highest daily chance: about 40%. Next come Manuel Antonio National Park (Costa Rica, about 20%) and Tortuguero National Park (Costa Rica, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Large Woodskimmer is recorded against all the insects logged in Darién National Park (36 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.
