Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Macugonalia leucomelas sighting in Tijuca National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 95th most-seen of the 132 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January, March, June and September–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Macugonalia leucomelas in Tijuca National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, April–May, July–August and November–December, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Macugonalia leucomelas sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Macugonalia leucomelas sightings, Tijuca National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Iguazú National Park (Argentina, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Macugonalia leucomelas is recorded against all the insects logged in Tijuca National Park (6 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.
