In 3 days ~50% in a week ~80%
Conchylodes platinalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Achille Guenée in 1854. It is native to Central and South America, where it has been recorded from Venezuela, Belize, Costa Rica and Honduras. This species may be identified from the triangular-like wedges present in the margins of the fore and hindwings along with the noncontinuous post-medial band which is found mostly on C. ovulalis.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Conchylodes platinalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Main Ridge Forest Reserve (11 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.
