With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Desmia filicornis sighting in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 100th most-seen of the 506 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.
August–September and November–December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Desmia filicornis in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in January, March–April and July, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Desmia filicornis is recorded against all the insects logged in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (26 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.
