Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Meccus dimidiatus sighting in Palo Verde National Park on a given day, based on 17 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 6th most-seen of the 30 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–March and December
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Meccus dimidiatus in Palo Verde National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May–July and September–November, the lowest months. Those are among Palo Verde National Park's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 480 mm in October.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Meccus dimidiatus sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Yes
Of the 7 parks where we can rate Meccus dimidiatus sightings, Palo Verde National Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Masaya Volcano National Park (Nicaragua, about 20%) and Cerro Azul Meámbar National Park (Honduras, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Meccus dimidiatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Palo Verde National Park (17 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.
