With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sphingonotus fuscoirroratus sighting in Galápagos Islands on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 46th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May, August and October–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Sphingonotus fuscoirroratus in Galápagos Islands on a given day, against under 5% in February–April, June–July and September, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Sphingonotus fuscoirroratus 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 Sphingonotus fuscoirroratus sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Acrididae
The closest relatives of the Sphingonotus fuscoirroratus that you can see in Galápagos Islands (family Acrididae, Short-horned Grasshoppers) are Large Painted Locust (about 40%) and Small Painted Locust (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Sphingonotus fuscoirroratus is recorded against all the insects logged in Galápagos Islands (16 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.
