Hagnagora ephestris
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~30%
Hagnagora ephestris is a species of moth of the family Geometridae. It is found in Colombia. Both H. ephestris and related H. discordata show a pronounced yellow blotch on the hindwings that is absent in H. luteoradiata. Different from H. discordata, the yellow transversal band on the forewing of H. ephestris reaches the outer margin of the wing. Moreover, the band is broader than in H. discordata, whereas the yellow field of the hindwing is narrower, particularly in the proximate half of the wing. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hagnagora ephestris sighting in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 297th 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–April and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Hagnagora ephestris in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in May and July–February, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Hagnagora ephestris is recorded against all the insects logged in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (8 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.
