With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Macropophora trochlearis sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 170th most-seen of the 366 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Macropophora trochlearis in Manu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–February, April–July and September–October, the lowest months. That is one of Manu National Park's wettest months, with about 250 mm of rain against 60 mm in August.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Macropophora trochlearis sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Manu National Park, in our data
Manu National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Macropophora trochlearis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Cerambycidae
The closest relatives of the Macropophora trochlearis that you can see in Manu National Park (family Cerambycidae, Longhorn Beetles) are Harlequin Beetle (about 10%), Taeniotes orbignyi (about 10%) and Jamesia globifera (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Macropophora trochlearis is recorded against all the insects logged in Manu National Park (8 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.
