In 3 days ~70% in a week ~90%
Pilocrocis guianalis is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by William Schaus in 1920. It is found in French Guiana. The wingspan is about 30 mm. The forewings are dull grey brown with a fine darker antemedial line from the subcostal and a medial darker spot in the cell, followed by an ochreous spot. There is a double incurved fuscous line on the discocellular divided by a fine ochreous line. The postmedial line is faint, preceded by small pale ochreous spots. The hindwings have a fuscous shade on the discocellular, followed by a pale ochreous spot which is outwardly edged by a faintly darker postmedial line. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Pilocrocis guianalis sighting in Main Ridge Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 18th most-seen of the 346 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a Pilocrocis guianalis in Main Ridge Forest Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in June, the lowest month. That is one of Main Ridge Forest Reserve's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain against 60 mm in February.
Between 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pilocrocis guianalis sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all 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 Pilocrocis guianalis sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Pilocrocis guianalis that you can see in Main Ridge Forest Reserve (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Checkered Apogeshna Moth (about 40%), Variegated Pearl (about 40%) and Palpita persimilis (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pilocrocis guianalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Main Ridge Forest Reserve (25 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.
