Epeiromulona hamata
In 3 days ~60% in a week ~90%
Epeiromulona hamata is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by William D. Field in 1952. It is found in Trinidad, northern South America and Brazil. The length of the forewings is 6.5–8 mm for males and 7.2-8.2 mm for females. The forewings and hindwings are very similar to Epeiromulona phelina and Epeiromulona biloba. There is a variable apical spot on the hindwing, sometimes greatly reduced or absent and sometimes enlarged. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Epeiromulona hamata sighting in Main Ridge Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 34th most-seen of the 346 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report an Epeiromulona hamata in Main Ridge Forest Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in May–June and September–October, the lowest months. That is one of Main Ridge Forest Reserve's driest months, with about 65 mm of rain against 230 mm in October.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Epeiromulona hamata sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Main Ridge Forest Reserve, in our data
Main Ridge Forest Reserve is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Epeiromulona hamata sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Epeiromulona hamata that you can see in Main Ridge Forest Reserve (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Virbia medarda (about 40%), Eulepidotis viridissima (about 40%) and Walker's Moth (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Epeiromulona hamata is recorded against all the insects logged in Main Ridge Forest Reserve (23 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.
