Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Elissa Page sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 49 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 14th most-seen of the 366 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.
February, September and December
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Elissa Page in Manu National Park on a given day, against about 10% in March and August, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Elissa Page sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Elissa Page sightings, Manu National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Yasuní National Park (Ecuador, about 20%) and Tambopata National Reserve (Peru, about 20%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Elissa Page that you can see in Manu National Park (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Malachite (about 30%), Julia Heliconian (about 20%) and White Peacock (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Elissa Page is recorded against all the insects logged in Manu National Park (49 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.
