About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Red Flasher sighting in Yasuní National Park on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 29th most-seen of the 203 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.

In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Red Flasher in Yasuní National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April and November, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Red Flasher sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Red Flasher is recorded against all the insects logged in Yasuní National Park (24 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.
