With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Blind Eighty-Eight sighting in Iguazú National Park on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 82nd most-seen of the 306 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.
May–July and September–November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Blind Eighty-Eight in Iguazú National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, the lowest month.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Blind Eighty-Eight sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Blind Eighty-Eight sightings, Iguazú National Park has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Iguaçu National Park (Brazil, about 10%) and Itatiaia National Park (Brazil, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Blind Eighty-Eight is recorded against all the insects logged in Iguazú National Park (28 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.
