With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Small Painted Locust sighting in Galápagos Islands on a given day, based on 96 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 14th 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.
February, May–June and November
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Small Painted Locust in Galápagos Islands on a given day, against under 5% in December, the lowest month.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Small Painted Locust 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 Small Painted Locust sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Small Painted Locust is recorded against all the insects logged in Galápagos Islands (96 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.
