Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Rusted Clearwing-Satyr sighting in Darién National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 14th most-seen of the 16 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March and December
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Rusted Clearwing-Satyr in Darién National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, April–May, July–August and November, the lowest months. Those are among Darién National Park's driest months, with about 180 mm of rain a month against 450 mm in November. September has too few records to rate.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rusted Clearwing-Satyr sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 14
Of the 14 parks where we can rate Rusted Clearwing-Satyr sightings, Darién National Park ranks 5th at about 20%. The best odds are in Braulio Carrillo National Park (Costa Rica, about 30%), Cerro Azul Meámbar National Park (Honduras, about 30%) and Pico Bonito National Park (Honduras, about 20%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rusted Clearwing-Satyr is recorded against all the insects logged in Darién National Park (5 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.
