Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Winged Dragonlet sighting in Santa Rosa National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 15th most-seen of the 25 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and December
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Black-Winged Dragonlet in Santa Rosa National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–June and September, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Black-Winged Dragonlet sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 13
Of the 13 parks where we can rate Black-Winged Dragonlet sightings, Santa Rosa National Park ranks 8th at about 20%. The best odds are in Darién National Park (Panama, about 30%), Corcovado National Park (Costa Rica, about 20%) and Las Baulas Marine National Park (Costa Rica, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Black-Winged Dragonlet is recorded against all the insects logged in Santa Rosa National Park (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.
