Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Red Flasher sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 34 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 23rd most-seen of the 366 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and September
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Red Flasher in Manu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in December to March, the lowest months. Those are among Manu National Park's driest months, with about 80 mm of rain a month against 290 mm in February.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red Flasher sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Red Flasher sightings, Manu National Park ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Yasuní National Park (Ecuador, about 20%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Red Flasher that you can see in Manu National Park (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Malachite (about 30%), Julia Heliconian (about 20%) and White Peacock (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red Flasher is recorded against all the insects logged in Manu National Park (34 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.
