Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Broad-Tipped Conehead sighting in Galápagos Islands on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 58th 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.
May, August–September and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Broad-Tipped Conehead in Galápagos Islands on a given day, against under 5% in June–July, October and December–April, the lowest months. Those are among Galápagos Islands's driest months, with about 5 mm of rain a month against 50 mm in March.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Broad-Tipped Conehead sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
4th of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Broad-Tipped Conehead sightings, Galápagos Islands ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Big Cypress National Preserve (United States, about 10%), Everglades National Park (United States, about 10%) and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (United States, about 10%).
Same family: Tettigoniidae
The closest relatives of the Broad-Tipped Conehead that you can see in Galápagos Islands (family Tettigoniidae, Katydids) are Nesoecia cooksonii (about 10%) and Copiphora brevicauda (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Broad-Tipped Conehead is recorded against all the insects logged in Galápagos Islands (9 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.
