With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bicyrtes variegatus sighting in Galápagos Islands on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 32nd most-seen of the 83 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.
February
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Bicyrtes variegatus in Galápagos Islands on a given day, against under 5% in January and June–November, the lowest months. That is one of Galápagos Islands's wettest months, with about 45 mm of rain against almost none in August.
Between 3 and 6 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bicyrtes variegatus sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 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 Bicyrtes variegatus sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Hymenoptera
The closest relatives of the Bicyrtes variegatus that you can see in Galápagos Islands (order Hymenoptera, Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Sawflies) are Galápagos Carpenter Bee (about 40%), Variegated Paper Wasp (about 30%) and Brachygastra lecheguana (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bicyrtes variegatus is recorded against all the insects logged in Galápagos Islands (26 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.
