Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Mylothrid Pentila sighting in Kibale National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 20th most-seen of the 41 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.
May
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Mylothrid Pentila in Kibale National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July to April, the lowest months.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Mylothrid Pentila sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Kibale National Park, in our data
Kibale National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Mylothrid Pentila sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Mylothrid Pentila is recorded against all the insects logged in Kibale National Park (8 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.
