With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ammatho cuneonotatus sighting in Sinharaja Forest Reserve on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 77th most-seen of the 117 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Between 4 and 7 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ammatho cuneonotatus sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ammatho cuneonotatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Sinharaja Forest Reserve (18 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.
