With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Zigzag Bantam sighting in Death Valley National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 91st most-seen of the 108 insects 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.
April
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Zigzag Bantam in Death Valley National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May to February, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Zigzag Bantam sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Death Valley National Park, in our data
Death Valley National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Zigzag Bantam sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Zigzag Bantam is recorded against all the insects logged in Death Valley National Park (5 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
