Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Siga liris sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 35th 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.
December
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Siga liris in Manu National Park on a given day, against about 10% in January, March–April, July–August and October–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 9 pm and midnight
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Siga liris sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Siga liris sightings, Manu National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Yasuní National Park (Ecuador, about 10%).
Same family: Crambidae
The closest relatives of the Siga liris that you can see in Manu National Park (family Crambidae, Crambid Snout Moths) are Red-Spotted Sweetpotato Moth (about 10%), Mung Bean Moth (about 10%) and Polygrammodes multifenestrata (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Siga liris is recorded against all the insects logged in Manu National Park (27 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.
