With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Lightbulb Lizard sighting in Bogota on a given day, based on 36 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 2nd most-seen of the 6 reptiles 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–February and April–September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Striped Lightbulb Lizard in Bogota on a given day, against under 5% in March and October–December, the lowest months.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Striped Lightbulb Lizard 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 Bogota, in our data
Bogota is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Striped Lightbulb Lizard sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Striped Lightbulb Lizard is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Bogota (36 verified sightings), 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.
