Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Golden Froghopper sighting in Tenorio Volcano National Park on a given day, based on 39 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the most-seen of the 98 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Golden Froghopper in Tenorio Volcano National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January and July, the lowest months. That is one of Tenorio Volcano National Park's driest months, with about 120 mm of rain against 420 mm in December.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Golden Froghopper sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Golden Froghopper sightings, Tenorio Volcano National Park ranks 2nd at about 30%. The best odds are in Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve (Costa Rica, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Golden Froghopper is recorded against all the insects logged in Tenorio Volcano National Park (39 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.
