Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Amazon Darner sighting in Galápagos Islands on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 51st most-seen of the 83 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Amazon Darner in Galápagos Islands on a given day, against under 5% in October to May, the lowest months. Those are among Galápagos Islands's driest months, with almost no rain against 50 mm in March.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Amazon Darner 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 Galápagos Islands, in our data
Galápagos Islands is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Amazon Darner sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Amazon Darner is recorded against all the insects logged in Galápagos Islands (13 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.
