Triatoma recurva
In 3 days ~10% in a week ~30%
Triatoma recurva is a species of kissing bug in the family Reduviidae. It is found in Central America and North America. Like all of the kissing bugs in the genus Triatoma, it is an obligate blood feeder that primarily targets vertebrates. However, individuals can consume the hemolymph of arthropods, and can develop to maturity on a diet consisting entirely of cockroaches. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Triatoma recurva sighting in Saguaro National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 194th most-seen of the 354 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May to July
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Triatoma recurva in Saguaro National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to April, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Triatoma recurva sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen 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 Triatoma recurva sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Triatoma recurva is recorded against all the insects logged in Saguaro 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.
