Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Indonesian Double Shield Mantis sighting in Komodo National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 9 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report an Indonesian Double Shield Mantis in Komodo National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, May and July–September, the lowest months. That is one of Komodo National Park's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 200 mm in January.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Indonesian Double Shield Mantis sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Only Komodo National Park, in our data
Komodo National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Indonesian Double Shield Mantis sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Indonesian Double Shield Mantis is recorded against all the insects logged in Komodo National Park (10 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.
