With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Borneo Giant Cricket sighting in Kinabalu Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 246th most-seen of the 297 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Borneo Giant Cricket in Kinabalu Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, March–June and September–November, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Borneo Giant Cricket sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Kinabalu Park, in our data
Kinabalu Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Borneo Giant Cricket sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Borneo Giant Cricket is recorded against all the insects logged in Kinabalu Park (5 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.
