Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Idalus perlineosa sighting in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 359th 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.

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Idalus perlineosa sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, in our data
Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Idalus perlineosa sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Idalus perlineosa is recorded against all the insects logged in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (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.
