Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Jivarus antisanae sighting in Quito on a given day, based on 27 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 26th most-seen of the 83 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Jivarus antisanae in Quito on a given day, against under 5% in August and October, the lowest months. That is one of Quito's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain against 180 mm in April.
Only Quito, in our data
Quito is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Jivarus antisanae sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Jivarus antisanae that you can see in Quito (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Baeacris punctulata (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 Jivarus antisanae is recorded against all the insects logged in Quito (27 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.
