Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Ringed Wall Gecko sighting in Los Angeles on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 36th most-seen of the 37 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Ringed Wall Gecko in Los Angeles on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ringed Wall Gecko sightings with a recorded time, and about half of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Los Angeles, in our data
Los Angeles is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ringed Wall Gecko sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ringed Wall Gecko is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Los Angeles (5 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.
