Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a Herminia Glider sighting in Kibale National Park on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 41 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.
May
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Herminia Glider in Kibale National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August and September, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Herminia Glider 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 Kibale National Park, in our data
Kibale National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Herminia Glider sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Herminia Glider is recorded against all the insects logged in Kibale 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.
