Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Elissa Page sighting in Yasuní National Park on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 28th most-seen of the 203 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July and August
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Elissa Page in Yasuní National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April and November, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Elissa Page 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 Elissa Page sightings, Yasuní National Park ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Manu National Park (Peru, about 20%).
Same family: Nymphalidae
The closest relatives of the Elissa Page that you can see in Yasuní National Park (family Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies) are Red Peacock (about 30%), Amber Phantom (about 30%) and Godart's Numberwing (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Elissa Page is recorded against all the insects logged in Yasuní National Park (25 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.
