Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Baetica ustulata sighting in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, based on 34 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 43rd most-seen of the 479 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August and October
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Baetica ustulata in Sierra Nevada National Park on a given day, against under 5% in November to May, the lowest months.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Baetica ustulata sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Sierra Nevada National Park, in our data
Sierra Nevada National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Baetica ustulata sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Tettigoniidae
The closest relatives of the Baetica ustulata that you can see in Sierra Nevada National Park (family Tettigoniidae, Katydids) are Andalusian Saddle Bush-Cricket (about 30%), Unarmed Saddle Bush-Cricket (about 20%) and Great Green Bush-Cricket (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Baetica ustulata is recorded against all the insects logged in Sierra Nevada National Park (34 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.
