Acontista multicolor
In 3 days ~40% in a week ~70%
Acontista multicolor, the multicolored acanthops, is a small species of South American mantis in the family Acanthopidae. It is known from Venezuela and Trinidad & Tobago. Its presence on Guadeloupe is uncertain as there are no recent records, despite intensive search. Indeed, its type locality was spelled "Guadalupe" and may refer to another place of that name.

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report an Acontista multicolor sighting in Henri Pittier National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 9th most-seen of the 18 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.
January and February
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Acontista multicolor in Henri Pittier National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–May, July and September–December, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Acontista multicolor sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Henri Pittier National Park, in our data
Henri Pittier National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Acontista multicolor sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Acontista multicolor is recorded against all the insects logged in Henri Pittier National Park (8 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.
