Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Moncheca pretiosa sighting in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 412th 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.
July–August and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Moncheca pretiosa in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in September and November–June, the lowest months. Those are among Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve's wettest months, with about 340 mm of rain a month against 45 mm in March.

Only Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Moncheca pretiosa is recorded against all the insects logged in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (5 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.
