In 3 days ~10% in a week ~30%
Neotherina callas is a species of moth of the family Geometridae first described by Herbert Druce in 1892. It is a moderately common species is found at altitudes between 1,100 and 2,800 meters throughout Costa Rica. The forewing appears to be truncated at the tip. As in most Lepidoptera, females are noticeably larger than males. The wings are diaphanous and overlaid by a distinct pattern seen only in this species and in Neotherina xanthosa. It can be separated from the latter by the darker more grayish color and its smaller size, with a male forewing length of 18–22 mm. Females have a forewing length of 19–24 mm.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Neotherina callas sighting in La Amistad International Park (Panama) on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 172nd most-seen of the 299 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Neotherina callas is recorded against all the insects logged in La Amistad International Park (Panama) (10 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.
