With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Green-Shouldered Sootywing sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 95th most-seen of the 366 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September and December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Green-Shouldered Sootywing in Manu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January to May, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Green-Shouldered Sootywing sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Manu National Park, in our data
Manu National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Green-Shouldered Sootywing sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Lepidoptera
The closest relatives of the Green-Shouldered Sootywing that you can see in Manu National Park (order Lepidoptera, Butterflies and Moths) are Red-Barred Amarynthis (about 30%), Malachite (about 30%) and Green-Banded Urania (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Green-Shouldered Sootywing is recorded against all the insects logged in Manu National Park (14 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.
