With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Blind Eighty-Eight sighting in Iguaçu National Park on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 78th most-seen of the 279 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Of the 3 parks where we can rate Blind Eighty-Eight sightings, Iguaçu National Park ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Iguazú National Park (Argentina, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Blind Eighty-Eight is recorded against all the insects logged in Iguaçu National Park (27 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.
