With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ampelophilus coeruleus sighting in Chirripó National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 76th most-seen of the 127 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Ampelophilus coeruleus in Chirripó National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, April–July and September–December, the lowest months. That is one of Chirripó National Park's driest months, with about 120 mm of rain against 690 mm in October.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ampelophilus coeruleus sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Chirripó National Park, in our data
Chirripó National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ampelophilus coeruleus sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Ampelophilus coeruleus that you can see in Chirripó National Park (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Rhachicreagra obsidian (about 20%), Microtylopteryx fusiformis (about 10%) and Silvitettix communis (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ampelophilus coeruleus is recorded against all the insects logged in Chirripó National Park (11 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.
