| # | Park | Country | Daily sighting probability |

| 3 | Soberanía National Park | 🇵🇦 Panama |
Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Limenitis malea sighting in Iguazú National Park on a given day, based on 46 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 45th most-seen of the 306 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Limenitis malea in Iguazú National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March and September, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Limenitis malea 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 Limenitis malea sightings, Iguazú National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Iguaçu National Park (Brazil, about 20%) and Soberanía National Park (Panama, about 10%).
Same genus: Limenitis
The closest relatives of the Limenitis malea that you can see in Iguazú National Park (genus Limenitis) are Limenitis thessalia (about 20%), Limenitis serpa (about 10%) and Limenitis epizygis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Limenitis malea is recorded against all the insects logged in Iguazú National Park (46 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.
