With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pheidole xanthogaster sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 296th 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 and October–November

Only Manu National Park, in our data
Manu National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pheidole xanthogaster sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pheidole xanthogaster is recorded against all the insects logged in Manu National Park (5 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.
