With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pachyplastis apicalis sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 203rd 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.
May
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Pachyplastis apicalis in Manu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, April, June–September and November, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pachyplastis apicalis 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 Pachyplastis apicalis sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Pachyplastis apicalis that you can see in Manu National Park (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Paraethria flavosignata (about 20%), Walker's Moth (about 20%) and Emeraldine (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pachyplastis apicalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Manu National Park (7 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.
