Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report an Angulate dwarf gecko sighting in Lusaka on a given day, based on 21 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 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 70% of wildlife watchers report an Angulate dwarf gecko in Lusaka on a given day, against under 5% in June and October, the lowest months. That is one of Lusaka's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain against almost none in August.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Angulate dwarf gecko 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 Lusaka, in our data
Lusaka is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Angulate dwarf gecko sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Angulate dwarf gecko is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Lusaka (21 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.
