With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Cosmosoma achemon sighting in Masaya Volcano National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 22nd most-seen of the 38 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.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cosmosoma achemon sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Masaya Volcano National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cosmosoma achemon is recorded against all the insects logged in Masaya Volcano 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.
