With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pachypodistes goeldii sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 246th 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 Pachypodistes goeldii in Manu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–April and June–November, 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 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pachypodistes goeldii sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Manu National Park, in our data
Manu National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pachypodistes goeldii sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Pyralidae
The closest relatives of the Pachypodistes goeldii that you can see in Manu National Park (family Pyralidae, Pyralid Snout Moths) are Paramacna nattereri (about 10%), Semnia auritalis (about 10%) and Incarcha argentilinea (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pachypodistes goeldii is recorded against all the insects logged in Manu National Park (6 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.
