With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orbed Wave sighting in Saguaro National Park on a given day, based on 26 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 109th most-seen of the 354 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May–July and September–October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Orbed Wave in Saguaro National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August and November–April, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Orbed Wave sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Saguaro National Park, in our data
Saguaro National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Orbed Wave sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orbed Wave is recorded against all the insects logged in Saguaro National Park (26 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.
