With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Poecilosoma eone sighting in Tijuca National Park on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 26th most-seen of the 132 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.
January and March–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Poecilosoma eone in Tijuca National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February and October–December, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Poecilosoma eone sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Tijuca National Park, in our data
Tijuca National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Poecilosoma eone sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Erebidae

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Poecilosoma eone is recorded against all the insects logged in Tijuca National Park (15 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.
