With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Macugonalia moesta sighting in Tambopata National Reserve on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 111th most-seen of the 141 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.

Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Macugonalia moesta sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Macugonalia moesta sightings, Tambopata National Reserve ranks 3rd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Yasuní National Park (Ecuador, about 10%) and Manu National Park (Peru, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Macugonalia moesta is recorded against all the insects logged in Tambopata National Reserve (5 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.
