With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Oryba kadeni sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 121st 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.
May and December–January
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report an Oryba kadeni in Manu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–April and August–September, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oryba kadeni is recorded against all the insects logged in Manu National Park (12 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.
