With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Marbled Skipper sighting in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, based on 37 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 389th most-seen of the 479 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Marbled Skipper in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August and October–March, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Southern Marbled Skipper sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Sierra Nevada National Park, in our data
Sierra Nevada National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Southern Marbled Skipper sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Marbled Skipper is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra Nevada National Park (37 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.
