Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Red Satyr sighting in Guadalupe Mountains National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 28th most-seen of the 57 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.
July
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Red Satyr in Guadalupe Mountains National Park on a given day, against under 5% in October to May, the lowest months. That is one of Guadalupe Mountains National Park's wettest months, with about 35 mm of rain against 10 mm in April.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red Satyr 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 3 parks where we can rate Red Satyr sightings, Guadalupe Mountains National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Big Bend National Park (United States, about 10%) and Cumbres de Monterrey National Park (Mexico, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red Satyr is recorded against all the insects logged in Guadalupe Mountains National Park (9 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.
