Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Tailed Darner sighting in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 323rd most-seen of the 506 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, May–July and December–January

Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-Tailed Darner sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Black-Tailed Darner sightings, Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Los Quetzales National Park (Costa Rica, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-Tailed Darner is recorded against all the insects logged in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (7 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.
