With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Taeniotes praeclarus sighting in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 239th most-seen of the 506 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Taeniotes praeclarus in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in March, July–October and December–January, the lowest months. That is one of Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain against 510 mm in October.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Taeniotes praeclarus sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Taeniotes praeclarus is recorded against all the insects logged in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (10 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.
