Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Pyrodes nitidus sighting in Tijuca National Park on a given day, based on 54 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 4th most-seen of the 132 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and February
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Pyrodes nitidus in Tijuca National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April to August, the lowest months. Those are among Tijuca National Park's wettest months, with about 180 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in July.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pyrodes nitidus sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Pyrodes nitidus sightings, Tijuca National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Itatiaia National Park (Brazil, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pyrodes nitidus is recorded against all the insects logged in Tijuca National Park (54 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.
