Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Baeacris punctulata sighting in Quito on a given day, based on 45 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 18th most-seen of the 83 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and November
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Baeacris punctulata in Quito on a given day, against about 10% in June and July, the lowest months. Those are among Quito's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain a month against 180 mm in April.
Only Quito, in our data
Quito is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Baeacris punctulata sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Baeacris punctulata that you can see in Quito (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Jivarus antisanae (about 20%) and Central American Locust (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Baeacris punctulata is recorded against all the insects logged in Quito (45 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.
