Syllepte strigicincta is a moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by George Hampson in 1912. It is found in Ecuador. The wingspan is about 31 mm. The forewings are orange yellow with slight subbasal brownish spots in the cell and above the inner margin. The costa is brownish to the excurved dark antemedial line, which is incurved and obsolescent at vein 1. There is a black discoidal lunule and a postmedial line formed of small fuscous spots in and on the interspaces, arising below the costa, incurved at vein 7, excurved to vein 2, then bent inwards. There is a series of dark striae just before the termen. The hindwings are orange yellow with a black discoidal spot. The postmedial line is rather diffused, fuscous, excurved between veins 5 and 2 and slightly below the submedian fold. There is a series of dark striae just before the termen. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Syllepte strigicincta sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 130th most-seen of the 366 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Syllepte strigicincta in Manu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in June–September and December, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Syllepte strigicincta sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Syllepte strigicincta sightings, Manu National Park has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Tambopata National Reserve (Peru, about 10%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Syllepte strigicincta is recorded against all the insects logged in Manu National Park (12 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.
