Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Melanis aegates sighting in El Impenetrable National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the most-seen of the 9 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Melanis aegates in El Impenetrable National Park on a given day, against under 5% in December, the lowest month. That is one of El Impenetrable National Park's driest months, with about 30 mm of rain against 120 mm in March.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Melanis aegates 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 El Impenetrable National Park, in our data
El Impenetrable National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Melanis aegates sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Melanis aegates is recorded against all the insects logged in El Impenetrable National Park (10 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.
